EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the cover of Le Grelot from January 22, 1905, featuring an allegorical engraving by Emile Combes (1835-1921) depicting Marianne. The title "Tout passe, tout casse!" translates to "Everything passes, everything breaks," hinting at the ephemeral nature of power and authority. Emile Combes was a prominent French politician known for his role in the separation of church and state in France during the early 20th century. His caricature of Marianne, a symbol of the French Republic, is laden with political symbolism and commentary on the turbulent times in which he lived. The image exudes a sense of urgency and opposition, reflecting the political climate of France during this period. Marianne's determined expression conveys strength and resilience in the face of adversity. As an engraving featured on a journal cover, this artwork served as a powerful form of communication and propaganda. It aimed to provoke thought and spark debate among readers about pressing issues facing society at that time. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history through art, showcasing how visual imagery was used as a tool for social commentary and political expression in early 20th-century France.
