EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the French Revolution. Titled "Hopefully the game will end ben tot" it depicts a thought-provoking cartoon on the Three Orders. The image showcases a peasant, symbolizing the third state, burdened by carrying both a prelate representing the clergy and a noble representing the nobility on his back. The caption sheds light on an important aspect of this artwork: its reference to taxes that heavily weighed upon the common people. While ecclesiastics and nobles not only evaded paying any taxes but also received privileges and pensions that drained the state's resources, impoverished farmers struggled to provide for their basic needs. The colored etching was created in 1789 during one of history's most significant revolutions –the French Revolution– which aimed to challenge social inequality and overthrow oppressive systems. This image serves as a poignant critique of how power dynamics were skewed in favor of those at the top while ordinary citizens bore an unjust burden. Preserved in Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon historical injustices and draws attention to ongoing struggles for equality today. It reminds us that societal change often begins with challenging unfair practices and advocating for justice for all members of society.
