EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating front cover of Le Grelot, dating back to the late 19th century, showcases a vibrant and thought-provoking lithograph titled "Liberty Lighting the World". Created by Pepin, this colorful print captures a significant historical event - the expulsion of the Jesuits following Jules Ferry's new law. The artwork symbolizes the establishment of a public education system free from church domination. At its center stands an imposing statue of Liberty, her torch ablaze with enlightenment. She clings onto a globe representing our world, while beneath her feet lies society personified as Earth. In this satirical caricature, Jesuits are depicted attacking and attempting to control the world. This powerful image serves as both social commentary and political satire. It highlights the struggle for freedom from religious influence in education during that era. The artist skillfully portrays Liberty as a beacon of progress and knowledge, shedding light on society's need for secular education. Preserved in private collection today, this remarkable piece offers us insight into past societal dynamics and ideological battles fought long ago. Its vivid colors and intricate details continue to captivate viewers even after more than a century has passed since its creation.
