EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Galau (ou Gallot), Louis, a 53-year-old man born in Merizies, Tarn. A skilled Charron by trade, he defied societal norms as an anarchist.

Through this image, we glimpse into the complex tapestry of French history where personal identity intertwines with larger socio-political movements.
