EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Rags of Paris" we are transported back to the late 19th century, a time when trade unionism and labor struggles were at their peak. The image captures a momentous gathering after a big meeting held at the winter circus, where around 2500 individuals involved in street trade activities have come together to discuss and expose the threats they face. The engraving, originally published in "Le petit journal" on March 26th, 1899, showcases the unity and determination of these workers as they consult with one another. Their precarious conditions and low wages serve as rallying points for their cause. The vibrant colors of the engraving bring life to this historical scene, highlighting both the resilience and vibrancy of these individuals. Photographer Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this significant moment from French history through his lens. His photograph not only documents an important event but also serves as a testament to the power of collective action in fighting for better working conditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from our present-day perspective, it reminds us of the struggles faced by workers throughout history and encourages us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of labor rights and social justice.
