EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a significant moment in history. Titled "Score for the song La Greve Generale" this lithograph by Georges Feline, dating back to around 1910, transports us to the vibrant era of the Belle Époque. In this image, we find ourselves amidst a bustling café concert filled with individuals who are united under a common cause. The atmosphere is charged with revolutionary fervor as men gather together, holding flags and pickaxes high in defiance. They proudly display their socialist beliefs through slogans such as "Neither God nor Master" and "Ni Dieu Ni Maitre". The composition showcases a diverse group of working-class individuals who have come together during a general strike in France's Third Republic. Their determination to challenge the establishment is palpable, symbolized by an imposing sword that stands prominently at the forefront. Henri Paul Gassier skillfully captured this powerful scene through his lens, immortalizing an important chapter in French political history. This engraving serves as both documentation and inspiration for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, it reminds us of the resilience and strength found within ordinary people when they unite for change. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, hope can flourish and transform society for the better.
