EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and disturbing print captures a haunting scene from the early 20th century. In this image, we witness the cruel act of corporal punishment inflicted upon a young girl by an adult woman using a hazel wand. The French School artist skillfully depicts the brutality and violence of this moment, leaving no doubt about the pain and suffering endured by the child. The composition evokes horror as we see the girl's bleeding body being struck repeatedly with the stick. The intensity of her agony is palpable, emphasizing the cruelty she endures at such a tender age. This illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on March 14,1909, shedding light on an alarming reality that was unfortunately prevalent during that era. The use of color lithography enhances our emotional response to this distressing scene. It serves as a reminder not only of past atrocities but also as a call for reflection on how far society has come in protecting children from abuse. As we gaze upon this photograph, it becomes clear that it represents more than just an artistic depiction; it stands as a testament to resilience and progress in safeguarding children's rights worldwide. Let us remember those who suffered before us while striving to create safer environments where all children can thrive without fear or harm.
