EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print, dated 1795, captures the somber reality of forced loans during the French Revolution. Amidst the tumultuous events of this period, the defense of the country became a paramount concern. Citizens were required to make substantial loans to support the war effort, with the promise that these loans would be repaid in due course. However, as the title of this print suggests, it is sad to say that these loans would never be fully repaid. The image portrays a group of citizens, each with a heavy burden of debt represented by a large sack on their back. Their faces express a range of emotions – from resignation to despair – as they trudge along, presumably on their way to make yet another loan payment. The backdrop of a war-torn landscape further emphasizes the gravity of the situation. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The forced loans were a heavy burden on the citizens of France during this tumultuous time, and the promise of repayment was ultimately broken. The events of 1795, as depicted in this print, are a stark reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict and the long-lasting impact they can have on individuals and communities.
