EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the French Revolution, showcasing a thought-provoking cartoon that symbolizes the societal dynamics of the time. The image portrays a peasant, representing the third estate, wearing a nun's habit to depict the clergyman. Astonishingly, on her back sits a nobleman, illustrating the burden placed upon the lower classes by those in power. Engraved in 1789 and housed at Bibliotheque de L Arsenal in Paris, this artwork encapsulates the essence of an era marked by social unrest and inequality. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic expression of discontent. The intricate details within this engraving highlight various themes prevalent during this period: poverty, misery, caricatured nobility, and wealth disparity. By depicting these contrasting elements together in one image, it sheds light on how society was divided into three distinct orders - clergy (represented by the nun), nobility (symbolized by their presence on her back), and commoners (embodied by the peasant). As we gaze upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder captured by Photo Josse with admiration for its historical significance and artistic brilliance; we are reminded of France's tumultuous past while also contemplating our own present-day struggles with societal inequities.
