The Commission of Inquiry on the Rochette Affair - Unveiling the Truth
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in French history, showcasing the front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on April 5th, 1914. The image depicts Monsieur Fabre, a prominent public prosecutor, providing evidence before the commission of inquiry investigating the infamous Rochette affair. The Rochette affair was a scandalous crisis that shook France to its core. Henri Rochette, a cunning swindler and financier, had orchestrated an elaborate scheme involving embezzlement and irregularities within the banking sector. As politicians such as Jean Jaurès and Maurice Barrès closely observed this case unfold, it became clear that not only were financial institutions compromised but also high-ranking government officials. In this illustration, Monsieur Fabre stands resolute as he delivers his deposition to uncover the truth behind this web of deceit. His statement holds immense weight in exposing greed and abuse of position within both finance and administration circles. The artist masterfully portrays tension through vibrant colors in this lithographic masterpiece. Every brushstroke highlights not only Fabre's determination but also serves as a reminder of society's demand for justice against those who exploit their positions for personal gain. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it reminds us of our responsibility to remain vigilant against corruption while honoring those brave individuals who strive for transparency and accountability.
