EDITORS COMMENTS
The political cartoon titled "All three. . . betrayed!" captures the essence of betrayal and despair during a tumultuous period in French history. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this engraving depicts the aftermath of the war of 1870. In this thought-provoking artwork, three figures representing France, Alsace-Lorraine, and Champagne-Ardenne stand naked and vulnerable on a battlefield. Their bodies bear scars from battle wounds, symbolizing their collective suffering. The expressions on their faces convey deep sadness and disillusionment as they realize that they have been betrayed. The cartoon alludes to multiple layers of betrayal - not only by external forces but also within their own society. It serves as a powerful critique of those who led France into war without considering its devastating consequences. Through his masterful use of caricature and symbolism, Leonard de Selva captures the raw emotions felt by the people affected by these events. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon themes such as treason, loss, and the human cost of conflict. As we gaze at this historic artwork today, it reminds us that even centuries later, images can still evoke strong emotions and serve as reminders of our shared past.
