EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Egide de Minerve, a renowned bookstore in Liege, Belgium during the 18th century. Known for its audacious defiance against power and religious authority, this establishment fearlessly sold books that were forbidden by both the ruling powers and the Church. The painting by Leonard Defrance (1735-1806) beautifully depicts this iconic bookstore, which became a symbol of intellectual freedom and resistance against censorship. The image showcases an architectural gem nestled within the bustling streets of Liege, exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. During Joseph II's reign (1741-1790), his policy of tolerance towards encyclopedists greatly favored establishments like Egide de Minerve. This policy allowed intellectuals to freely express their ideas through literature without fear of persecution or suppression. The photograph perfectly captures the essence of this historical moment - a time when philosophy flourished amidst adversity. It portrays a scene filled with merchants, philosophers, and avid readers eagerly engaging in intellectual discourse while perusing through stacks of forbidden books. With its rich history and significance in promoting freedom of expression, Egide de Minerve stands as a testament to human resilience against oppression. This print serves as a reminder that even in times where knowledge is suppressed or censored, there will always be those who dare to challenge authority for the sake of enlightenment.
