EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a financial scandal that shook France in the early 20th century. The subject of this engraving is Marthe Hanau, a French businesswoman who found herself at the center of controversy and ultimately imprisoned in Saint Lazare prison in Paris. The image portrays Hanau as a prisoner, her face marked with both defiance and resignation. Her imprisonment serves as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those involved in financial misconduct during this era. The engraving was featured in "Le petit Journal Illustre" on January 20,1929, shedding light on an event that captured public attention. Hanau's story represents not only her personal downfall but also highlights broader issues within the business world and press ethics. As a female entrepreneur embroiled in scandal, she challenges traditional gender roles and expectations placed upon women during this time. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful reproduction brings forth every detail of this historical moment, allowing viewers to delve into the complexities surrounding Hanau's case. This powerful print serves as a reminder of how one person's actions can have far-reaching consequences while raising questions about justice, morality, and societal norms. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded that history often repeats itself; financial scandals continue to captivate our collective consciousness even today.
