EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "Le Grelot" number 142, Satirique en Couleurs, dated December 28th, 1873. Created by the talented illustrator Alfred Le Petitty (1841-1909), this illustration titled "It's like that!" delves into themes of censorship and freedom of expression prevalent in the press/media during that era. The image depicts a prisoner confined within a chain-link fence, symbolizing the stifling effects of censorship. With paper and pencil in hand, Le Petitty cleverly portrays himself as both artist and captive, highlighting the struggles faced by cartoonists and journalists who dared to challenge societal norms. The engraving features various elements representing censorship: scissors cutting through articles, an instrument used to silence voices; a journal chained shut, signifying restricted access to information; and a caricatured figure with exaggerated features representing those who sought to control public discourse. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Le Petitty sheds light on the importance of preserving freedom of expression in society. The piece serves as a reminder that even in times when artistic or journalistic endeavors are met with resistance or suppression, it is crucial for individuals to continue pushing boundaries and challenging authority. This photograph captures not only an important historical moment but also encapsulates the enduring struggle for creative autonomy amidst attempts at control.
