EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "How, in Morocco, one chastens a scavenger, 1929" we are transported to the streets of Morocco during a time of unrest and desperation. The image captures an unfortunate and hungry man with a sheep's head being subjected to punishment by an angry crowd. As dogs bark aggressively in the background, the scene is filled with tension and despair. The composition of the photograph is striking, with vibrant colors and bold lettering that adorn the cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre". This French publication brings attention to the shocking reality faced by many individuals in North Africa during this era. The image serves as a powerful reminder of poverty and inequality prevalent at that time. It highlights how people resorted to scavenging for food amidst dire circumstances. The act of kicking and striking this man with rifle butts reflects both anger towards his actions as well as frustration towards societal conditions. This print not only documents a specific moment in history but also raises questions about humanity's treatment towards those less fortunate. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to address issues such as hunger and poverty on a global scale. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image from 1929, created by an unknown artist, it serves as a poignant reminder that even though times have changed since then, there are still battles against injustice that need our attention today.
