EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a print from the 19th-century publication titled "Zola: 32 caricatures lustrant les romances de Zola". The image showcases Rome, depicted in a satirical manner, as part of this anti-Dreyfusard and anti-Semitic work that aimed to ridicule the renowned French writer Emile Zola. Published by Lebourgeois, ed. Bernard & Cie in Paris in 1898, this piece emerged following Zola's controversial publication of "J'Accuse". The scene portrayed here is filled with misery and poverty. A beggar wearing tattered clothing sits on the ground while clutching onto a hat for donations. In the background, members of the national guard can be seen observing the destitute figure without offering any assistance. This artwork not only reflects societal issues prevalent during that era but also highlights how literature can be used as a tool for political commentary and criticism. It serves as a reminder of Zola's impact as an influential writer who fearlessly addressed social injustices through his works. Captured by Leonard de Selva, this print offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing the power of visual art to convey complex narratives. As we observe this thought-provoking image, it prompts us to reflect on our own society's treatment of those less fortunate and encourages us to continue challenging injustice through artistic expression.
