EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Choice of a career: Cartoon on the Laique School" takes us back to early 20th century France, offering a glimpse into the world of education and societal values at that time. Created by Achile Lemot in 1909, this thought-provoking cartoon was originally published in "Le Pelerin" a popular French magazine. The image depicts a classroom scene where young students are faced with an important decision - choosing their future careers. The artist skillfully captures the essence of each child's dilemma through their facial expressions and body language. Some appear confident and determined, while others seem uncertain or overwhelmed by the weight of their choice. Lemot's work also reflects the prevalent concept of laicite (secularism) during this period in France. The emphasis on secular education is evident as religious symbols are absent from the classroom, highlighting the separation between church and state. With its intricate details and powerful message, this artwork serves as a reminder of how society has evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on our own choices and aspirations while appreciating the historical context in which they were made. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every nuance of Lemot's original drawing, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic value even today. As we gaze upon this timeless piece, we are transported back to an era when education held great importance for shaping one's future path.
