EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Roma arrested by police, slash their monkeys in the police station" takes us back to a significant moment captured in history. This powerful engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of law enforcement during that era. In this thought-provoking image, we witness a group of Roma individuals being apprehended by the police. The arresting officers are shown inside a bustling police station where chaos ensues as these marginalized members of society confront their captors. However, what truly captures our attention is the presence of monkeys accompanying the Roma community. As we delve deeper into this intriguing scene, it becomes apparent that these animals hold great significance within Roma culture. Sadly though, amidst the turmoil and tension surrounding their arrest, some of these cherished companions have been harmed. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both cultural diversity and societal struggles faced during those years in France. It prompts us to reflect upon how different communities were treated and perceived within broader society at that time. Preserved through time and now part of a private collection courtesy of Leonard de Selva's photography skills, this historical engraving continues to evoke emotions and spark conversations about justice and equality even today.
