EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the trial of Joseph Vacher, infamously known as the "Shepherd Killer". The image showcases the intense atmosphere within the Ain Court of Assisi during this high-profile case. Joseph Vacher, a Frenchman born in 1869, had terrorized rural communities with his heinous crimes between 1894 and 1897. His victims were primarily shepherds, hence earning him his chilling moniker. The photograph depicts Vacher standing as a prisoner before the court, surrounded by law enforcement officers who ensured justice would be served. The cover of "The Progressive-Illustrous" from October 30,1898 features this haunting image captured by an unknown artist from the 19th century. It is now part of a private collection and has been preserved for its historical significance. This print not only serves as evidence of Vacher's trial but also sheds light on various aspects surrounding it. The presence of press representatives suggests widespread public interest in this shocking case that gripped France at that time. Additionally, it highlights how art can play a crucial role in documenting important events and preserving them for future generations. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully engraved this drawing to create an evocative piece that encapsulates both the gravity and intrigue surrounding Joseph Vacher's trial. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of humanity's pursuit for justice and our collective responsibility to protect one another from such horrors
