EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic arrest of Emile Arton, a corrupt broker involved in the infamous Panama scandal case. For years, Arton had evaded capture, but his luck finally ran out on that fateful day depicted in this engraving from "Le petit journal" dated 1st December 1895. The image showcases the intensity and gravity of the situation as law enforcement officers apprehend Arton, who is shown with a look of shock and resignation on his face. The artist's attention to detail brings forth the tension in the scene, highlighting both Arton's guilt and the determination of those seeking justice. The Panama scandal was a financial scandal that rocked France during this period. It involved corruption surrounding French efforts to construct a canal through Panama. Many high-ranking officials were implicated in bribery and embezzlement schemes related to this project, leading to public outrage and political turmoil. This particular engraving serves as an important historical document, capturing not only one man's downfall but also reflecting broader societal issues prevalent at that time. As part of Selvas collection, it represents an invaluable piece of art history. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this significant moment in French history through his lens. This print stands as a testament to journalism's power to expose wrongdoing and hold individuals accountable for their actions.
