EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1929 in Charleroi, Belgium. The image captures a moment of intense patriotism and violence as Belgian patriots protest against a German circus passing through their town. The crowd is filled with fervor, singing the Marseillaise and assaulting the artists from Circus Gleich. The engraving, featured in "Le Petite Journal Illustrous" showcases the chaos and tension that unfolded during this event. It is evident that Circus Gleich finds some twisted joy in witnessing the anti-Germanic sentiments expressed by the crowd. This clash between nationalities highlights deep-seated animosity towards Germany at that time. The scene depicted here speaks volumes about the power of nationalism and its ability to incite both unity and aggression within a community. The image also sheds light on how art can capture historical moments of unrest and serve as a reflection of societal attitudes. This particular print is part of a private collection, adding to its rarity and historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of Europe's complex history marked by conflicts between nations but also united by shared cultural experiences. Stefano Bianchetti's work beautifully encapsulates this tumultuous period in early 20th-century Europe while reminding us of our collective responsibility to learn from history's lessons for a more peaceful future.
