EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Brawl at the Pavillon d'Armenonville, Paris" captures a moment of intense violence and chaos in 19th century France. The colour litho, created by Eugene Damblans, showcases a mob of angry individuals engaged in a fierce brawl at the renowned Pavillon d'Armenonville in the Bois de Boulogne. The image is steeped in historical significance as it depicts the aftermath of drastic measures taken by the government to prevent any repetition of an attack on the President of France during a previous event. This incident occurred at Auteuil racecourse when an anti-Dreyfusard assaulted him with a cane. The photograph portrays raw emotions such as anger, bitterness, and rage that have consumed these individuals caught up in this clash. It reflects not only their fight against each other but also their collective fight against societal injustices prevalent during that time. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we witness Europe grappling with its own seven deadly sins: violence, disturbances, brawling - all encapsulated within this single frame. The pavilion becomes an arena where conflicting emotions collide and confront one another. Through this powerful visual narrative captured for Le Petit Journal on June 25th, 1899; Damblans immortalizes a pivotal moment in French history amidst the Dreyfus Affair. This print serves as both a testament to human nature's capacity for conflict and an enduring reminder of our shared past.
