EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical figure, Christophe Thivrier, known as "the depute in a blouse". Born into the Bourbonnais miners' community in 1841, Thivrier always wore a blouse as a symbol of loyalty to his roots. However, it was his passionate cry of "live the commune" during a heated debate that led to his expulsion from the chamber of deputies. Taken from an engraving featured in "Le petit journal" on February 12th, 1894, this image showcases Thivrier's defiant spirit and unwavering commitment to his beliefs. The soldiers surrounding him represent the forceful response he faced for expressing such radical ideas within political circles. The artist behind this evocative piece remains unknown but has skillfully captured both the intensity of Thivrier's emotions and the tension within French society at that time. Through intricate details and bold lines, they have brought this significant moment in history back to life. Preserved within Selvas collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era marked by political turmoil and social unrest. It serves as a reminder of individuals like Christophe Thivrier who fearlessly fought for their convictions despite facing severe consequences. Leonard de Selva's photograph ensures that this powerful image continues to resonate with viewers today. As we reflect upon its historical significance, may we be inspired by those who dared to challenge societal norms and fight for what they believed in.
