EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the French Revolution of 1789. It depicts Napoleon I Bonaparte, the renowned military and political leader, having lunch at the gargotier Justat on the rue des petits peres in Paris. The scene showcases the harsh realities faced by many during this tumultuous period. Reduced to a single dish that he paid only six under its actual portion, Napoleon's meal symbolizes the widespread poverty and misery experienced by ordinary citizens. The illustration, created by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville (known as JOB), provides a vivid depiction of this historical event. The image transports us back to 1910 when it was captured and offers a glimpse into an important chapter of French history. Despite his eventual rise to power, Napoleon's humble lunch reminds us of his early struggles and highlights the stark contrast between his future grandeur and the hardships endured by those around him. This thought-provoking photograph serves as a reminder of both the resilience of individuals during times of revolution and also their vulnerability in facing societal upheaval. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as poverty, revolution, and social inequality while appreciating JOB's artistic talent in capturing this poignant moment from history.
