EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the general strike of miners in Decazeville, Aveyron, France in 1886. The image depicts the arrest of two courageous journalists, Duc Quercy from "Cree of the People" and Ernest Roche from "The Intransigent", as they fearlessly reported on the events unfolding during this tumultuous time. Intricately engraved for publication in "Le Monde Illustre" on April 17th, 1886, this historical artifact provides a glimpse into the power struggle between laborers and authorities. The scene showcases the determination of these journalists to shed light on social injustices faced by miners while risking their own freedom. The composition exudes tension and drama as police officers apprehend Duc Quercy and Ernest Roche. Their faces reflect both defiance and resilience against an oppressive system that sought to silence their voices. This arresting visual serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who fought for workers' rights during this era. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving by Stefano Bianchetti transports us back to a pivotal moment in French history when labor movements were gaining momentum. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of journalism in exposing societal inequalities and advocating for change. As we observe this powerful image today, let it serve as inspiration to continue championing justice and equality for all members of society.
