EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact that sheds light on the life of Aldonze Sade during a tumultuous period in French history. The pen and ink petition, created by the French School in the 18th century, reveals Sade's desperate plea for employment amidst the chaos of the French Revolution. In this intriguing document, Sade emphasizes his unwavering patriotism and dedication to the ideals of the newly formed French Republic. He laments the loss of his writings during the siege of Bastille, highlighting his literary pursuits and creative contributions to society. Dated in accordance with the revolutionary calendar as An III, this handwritten request provides a glimpse into Sade's struggle with unemployment during these transformative times. His appeal reflects not only his desire for financial stability but also his determination to contribute meaningfully to society. The mention of "sadism" within this context raises questions about whether it refers to Sade's notorious reputation or if it is simply an unfortunate coincidence due to similar phonetics. Regardless, this image offers a fascinating insight into one individual's quest for livelihood amidst political upheaval. Preserved within Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris in France, this rare piece serves as a testament to both personal resilience and societal change. It reminds us that even amid revolution and uncertainty, individuals like Aldonze Sade sought opportunities for growth and survival through their own unique circumstances.
