EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of Les Hommes d aujourd hui, number 442, featuring an exquisite illustration by the renowned Couturier (1869-1935). The artwork titled "Cycling" depicts a scene that beautifully captures the essence of both industry and labor. In this vibrant piece, we see a cyclist riding her bicycle with grace and determination, surrounded by towering Industrie Factories. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements into this composition to convey a deeper message. The juxtaposition of the "little queen" on her bicycle against the backdrop of factories symbolizes the intersection between progress and human effort. It highlights how industrialization has impacted society while emphasizing the importance of workers in driving these advancements forward. Augustin Hamon (1862-1945), an intellectual and philosopher known for his socialist views, is credited as being behind this thought-provoking image. His influence can be seen in the subtle references to anarchism and socialism present throughout this engraving. This fascinating snapshot offers us a glimpse into French culture during its time. It not only celebrates cycling as a popular sport but also sheds light on important social issues through artistry. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, it serves as a testament to both artistic expression and societal commentary. Photo © Caricadoc from Bridgeman Images
