EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front cover of an edition of "La Conquete de Plassans" by Emile Zola, created around 1910. The vibrant color lithograph, skillfully executed by Almery Lobel-Riche (1877-1950), is a true testament to the artistic mastery of its time. The image depicts a dramatic scene from Zola's fourth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series. It captures the essence of naturalism and realism that defined Zola's literary works. In this particular moment, we witness a heroic rescue taking place amidst chaos and destruction. A burning stairwell serves as the backdrop for this intense tableau. A courageous figure can be seen carrying another person down the staircase, their determination evident in every step they take. This act of saving lives becomes symbolic not only of physical rescue but also represents an anti-clerical sentiment prevalent in Zola's writing. The composition exudes both tension and hope as it encapsulates themes such as bravery, sacrifice, and human resilience. Through Lobel-Riche's artistry, we are transported into this pivotal moment where ordinary individuals become extraordinary heroes. This remarkable print is a treasure within any private collection due to its historical significance and artistic merit. Its presence serves as a reminder of the power that literature holds to inspire us all to rise above adversity and make a difference in our world.
