EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history when tensions ran high during Brussels' universal suffrage riots of 1902. The artist G Amato skillfully depicts the chaos and violence that unfolded in the heart of the city's Place des Grand Sablons. Mounted on their majestic horses, gendarmes charge fearlessly towards a defiant crowd of rioters. The determination etched on their faces reveals their commitment to maintaining law and order amidst this disturbance. This engraving from The Illustrated London News serves as an enduring testament to these turbulent times. The scene is filled with energy as both man and beast collide in a clash between authority and rebellion. It is impossible not to be drawn into this snapshot of history that showcases not only political unrest but also police brutality. Belgium's struggle for universal suffrage resonates through every stroke of this artwork. The print encapsulates the spirit of resistance against injustice while highlighting the role played by these brave men who risked everything to uphold peace. As we gaze upon this image over a century later, it reminds us of how far society has come in its pursuit of equal rights for all citizens. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost, but it is through such struggles that change can be achieved.
