EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures the tragic story of Lucie Guyon, a ten-year-old girl who became a victim of abuse in 19th century France. Titled "Suicide of an abused child" this colour lithograph depicts the heart-wrenching moment when Lucie took her own life. The image portrays a small bedroom, filled with neglected and miserable surroundings. The squalor and hopelessness are palpable as we see Lucie lying on a bed, symbolizing her final act of despair. The furniture in the room reflects the poverty and neglect she endured throughout her short life. Lucie's story serves as a stark reminder of the crime that is child abuse. It sheds light on the unimaginable suffering experienced by innocent children at that time. This print was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal, published on September 4th, 1898. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it evokes feelings of sadness and empathy for young Lucie and all those who have suffered similar fates. It serves as a poignant reminder to protect our most vulnerable members of society – our children. This print from Fine Art Finder, courtesy of Bridgeman Images, not only showcases French culture but also highlights the importance of addressing child abuse even today. Let us remember Lucie Guyon's tragic fate so that we may strive towards creating a world where no child has to endure such misery again.
