EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating front cover of "Revolt of the wine growers" from l'Assiette au Beurre, a lithograph created by Emmanuel Barcet in 1907, transports us to a time of intense social unrest and resistance. This powerful image captures the essence of the fight against fraud and importation that plagued the French wine industry during the Third Republic. In this thought-provoking illustration, we witness vintners from Bas Languedoc coming together in solidarity to protest against unfair practices. The cartoon-like caricatures depict male wine growers standing united, their faces etched with determination and defiance. They hold placards high above their heads, demanding justice for their trade. This scene is not just about grapes and vineyards; it represents a larger struggle for economic survival and cultural identity. The viticulture community's tax strike becomes an act of rebellion against oppressive forces threatening their livelihoods. As we delve deeper into this engraving, we cannot help but notice Marianne, symbolizing France herself, standing tall amidst the chaos. She embodies resilience and hope as she supports these brave individuals fighting for what they believe in. Barcet's skillful use of black-and-white photography adds depth to this historical moment captured on paper. Through his artistry, he immortalizes a significant chapter in French history while shedding light on issues that continue to resonate today. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, unity can spark change and ignite revolutions capable of transforming societies
