EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A New Bomb - Antisemitism, Dreyfus Case, Drains - Jewish - Drowning" is an illustration by Jean-Louis Forain. Created in 1898 for the publication Psst. . . , it depicts a powerful scene that reflects the social and political tensions of the time. The image portrays a bomb exploding in what appears to be a sewer or drainage system. The bomb symbolizes the destructive force of antisemitism during the infamous Dreyfus Case, which divided French society. In this context, Forain uses his art to shed light on the persecution faced by Jews at that time. Forain's skillful engraving technique brings depth and detail to every aspect of this artwork. The composition draws attention to a malefactor who represents those responsible for spreading hatred towards the Jewish population. Through this visual narrative, Forain exposes their attempts to drown out religious freedom and equality. The artist's choice of black and white adds intensity to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. This piece serves as a reminder of France's troubled past with antisemitism but also highlights how art can challenge societal injustices. Bridgeman Images has preserved this important work from history through their careful reproduction process. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a poignant reminder of humanity's struggle against prejudice and discrimination.
