EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense conflict and injustice. Titled "A costermonger is assaulted by the police" this image graces the front cover of Crimes and Punishments, a special edition of L'Assiette au Beurre from March 1st, 1902. Created by Felix Edouard Vallotton, a Swiss artist known for his powerful illustrations, this colour lithograph depicts an aggressive female policeman attacking a helpless street vendor. The scene unfolds with palpable tension as the costermonger, representing the working class struggling to make ends meet, becomes the victim of unwarranted aggression. The forceful brushstrokes and vivid colors employed by Vallotton emphasize both the physicality and emotional impact of this assault. Through this artwork's composition and subject matter, Vallotton sheds light on issues surrounding social inequality and abuse of power prevalent during that era. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder that justice does not always prevail in society. Preserved within private collection today, this historical piece continues to resonate with viewers worldwide. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to provoke contemplation about societal dynamics and advocate for fairness even over a century later.
