EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving titled "Last shout prison - Humbert was promised for my picket" we are transported back to the scandalous affair of banker Marie Alexandre Boulaine, as captured in the pages of Le Rire on December 6,1902. The artist behind this piece is Camara, Leal de (1877-1948), and it now resides in a private collection curated by Stefano Bianchetti. The image depicts a chain-clad prisoner standing within the confines of a jail cell. His face bears an expression of sadness and despair, hinting at the gravity of his situation. A young girl stands outside the bars, her presence adding an element of innocence juxtaposed against the harsh reality of imprisonment. This artwork delves into themes such as finance, seduction, and derision prevalent during that era. It serves as a scathing caricature aimed at highlighting the consequences faced by those involved in fraudulent banking practices. The use of light and color further enhances its impact, drawing attention to both the human subjects depicted and their roles within society. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into early 20th-century France's tumultuous financial landscape while also witnessing how art can be used to shed light on societal issues. Stefano Bianchetti's curation ensures that this historical artifact continues to captivate audiences with its powerful depiction long after its initial publication date.
