EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sabotage of horse racing in France" captures a significant moment in French history during the 20th century. The colour litho artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a powerful scene that symbolizes direct action and workers' protest. In this image, we witness the obstruction of horseboxes carrying racehorses to a meeting at Auteuil by members of the CGT trade union. The disruption caused by these individuals highlights their determination to challenge the status quo and fight for their rights. This illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on July 4th, 1909. The photograph not only portrays political unrest but also sheds light on the intersection between sports and politics. Horse racing, traditionally seen as an elite pastime, becomes entangled with trade unionism and worker solidarity. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where ordinary workers took bold actions to make their voices heard. It serves as a reminder of the power that collective action holds when faced with injustice or inequality. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's private collection, it invites us to reflect upon how art can immortalize moments of resistance and inspire future generations to stand up for what they believe in.
