EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mont-de-Piete, a philanthropic institution in Paris during the early 20th century. The image is taken from "L'assiette au beurre" a renowned French publication known for its satirical illustrations and social commentary. Published on March 6,1905, this particular issue sheds light on the stark contrast between wealth and poverty in France. The photograph showcases a scene of domestic misery amidst opulent surroundings. It depicts a pauper sitting at the foot of Piety Mountain, symbolizing his desperate struggle against destitution. The artist's skillful drawing evokes empathy as it portrays the harsh reality faced by many during that era. Leonard de Selva masterfully captured this poignant moment in time, highlighting both the plight of those living in poverty and the existence of institutions like Mont-de-Piete that aimed to alleviate their suffering through philanthropy. This private collection piece serves as an important historical document showcasing societal issues prevalent in early 20th-century France. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also of the power art holds to shed light on social inequalities. Leonard de Selva's work continues to resonate today as we strive for a more equitable society where no one is left behind.
