EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - "De La Viande" from the political posters of the Paris Commune in May 1871. The image showcases a powerful concept, announcing vital information about food and meat during this tumultuous period. The lettering, displayed boldly with capital letters, grabs attention and emphasizes the urgency of the message. The poster was an essential tool for communication during the time of occupation, as it served as a newspaper for public announcements. Its political nature reflects the ideals of communism that were prevalent during this era. The profession of butcher is highlighted, indicating its importance in providing sustenance to the people amidst challenging circumstances. Printed on newsprint paper, this artwork represents not only a historical artifact but also an artistic expression through typography. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this 19th-century piece. Although created by an unknown artist, this print holds immense value as it offers insights into life in France at that time. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used to convey important messages and document significant events within a country's history.
