EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "Do not for trouble. The village man" offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities faced by pre-revolution peasants in France. The image depicts a poor peasant toiling away in the middle of a field, undeterred by both scorching heat and bitter cold. Day after day, this resilient individual works tirelessly throughout the year, striving to collect enough from his labor to pay off the collector. The cartoon-like quality of the engraving adds an element of symbolism to this portrayal of rural life. It serves as a powerful commentary on the living conditions endured by these impoverished individuals belonging to the third state or lower class. Through this artwork, we gain insight into their struggles with poverty and taxation. The central figure represents not just one man but stands as a representation of all peasants who were trapped in cycles of hardship and destitution during that era. Their lives revolved around agriculture and manual labor, symbolized by fields being sown with seeds. This print serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on an important period in French history - right before the revolution took place in 1789. It highlights societal issues such as inequality and economic disparity prevalent at that time. Overall, Stefano Bianchetti's engraving captures both visually and emotionally the plight of these forgotten villagers whose existence was defined by backbreaking work, meager earnings, and perpetual struggle against poverty's grip.
