EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a painting that is preserved in the town hall of Aix en Provence, depicting "The three orders of France". Created by an anonymous French School artist during the 18th century, this artwork offers a thought-provoking commentary on the inequality that persisted even after the revolution of 1789. The image portrays a cartoon-like scene where three distinct groups are depicted: the clergy, nobility, and commoners. Each order is represented with exaggerated caricatures highlighting their unique characteristics and social status. The engraving skillfully captures the essence of this historical period while shedding light on societal disparities. With its intricate details and satirical undertones, this artwork serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by post-revolutionary France in achieving true equality among its citizens. It symbolizes how deeply rooted inequalities can persist despite significant political changes. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every nuance and subtlety within this remarkable piece. Through his lens, viewers can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also gain insight into an important chapter in French history. As we reflect upon this photograph, let us contemplate how far society has come since those tumultuous times and consider what more needs to be done to ensure fairness and justice for all.
