The Cry of the Streets!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithograph created by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen in February 1894. This print captures the essence of hardship and despair that plagued the streets of 19th century France. In this scene, a group of men and women are seen gesturing with raised arms, their faces filled with anguish. The artist skillfully portrays the devastating effects of bad weather as floodwaters rise around them. The people depicted here belong to the working class, their tattered rags symbolizing their impoverished state. Their desperate cries echo through the image, conveying a sense of helplessness in the face of adversity. Steinlen's lithography technique brings depth and texture to this poignant artwork. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only physical features but also emotions etched on each face. Through his artistry, he sheds light on social issues such as poverty and inequality prevalent during that time. "The Cry of the Streets!" serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility towards those less fortunate than us. It stands as an enduring testament to Steinlen's ability to capture raw human emotion through his artistic expression. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Steinlen's masterpiece even today, over a century later. It invites viewers into an era long gone but leaves behind an indelible mark on our understanding of history and societal struggles.
