EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled ""So, although I confess to you, between us, that I was the one who stole (LSE4403419)" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of intense emotion and intrigue. The image showcases an engraving by Honore Daumier, depicting a scene filled with tension and secrecy. The central figure is a defendant who bravely admits to stealing the "toquante" from Father Jerome. However, instead of abandonment or judgment, he finds unexpected compassion from his companion. The caption emphasizes their connection as it reads: "Hey! My dear thief. . . you hardly know my heart. . ". The artwork cleverly explores the complex relationship between lawbreakers and those entrusted with upholding justice. It suggests that without thieves like him, lawyers would cease to exist - highlighting the symbiotic nature of these professions. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures every intricate detail of Daumier's black and white caricature. Through this lens, we can appreciate the artist's skillful portrayal of human expression amidst an accusation-filled courtroom setting. This print offers viewers a glimpse into 19th-century France while reminding us that even in moments of guilt or wrongdoing, there may be unexpected connections and understanding waiting to be discovered within our hearts.
