EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense drama and suspense in the streets of Puteaux, France. The image depicts the arrest of a notorious counterfeiter named Guillaume-Joseph Manguard, also known as Raoul the Anarchist. As police officers surround him, their faces etched with anger and determination, a crowd gathers to witness this historic event. The scene is filled with raw emotion - from the rage emanating from both sides to the bitterness felt by those affected by Manguard's counterfeit schemes. The atmosphere crackles with tension as law enforcement takes down one of France's most wanted criminals. Intriguingly, this arresting illustration was originally created for Le Petit Journal on August 24th, 1902. It offers us a glimpse into an era when forgery posed a significant threat to society and highlights the tireless efforts made by French authorities to combat such crimes. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork, we can't help but be drawn into its narrative. We are reminded that crime knows no boundaries and that even in picturesque towns like Puteaux, danger lurks beneath the surface. This image serves as a testament to both human resilience and our unyielding pursuit of justice. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this colour litho print transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us that crime has always been an unfortunate part of our shared history.
