EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Le Petit Journal, dated 15th July 1893, transports us back to a time of civil unrest and disobedience. The image captures the chaotic scene unfolding in Place Kleber, Strasbourg - a city known for its rich history and vibrant culture. In this snapshot of the past, we witness a group of angry men and women taking to the streets to express their discontent. Clad in clothes typical of the era, they brandish various weapons - sticks and swords - symbolizing their resistance against authority. The tension is palpable as injured individuals can be seen amidst the crowd. The urban landscape serves as an eerie backdrop for this metaphorical battle between citizens and those tasked with maintaining order. Policemen stand outside buildings on Avenue de la Liberté while attempting crowd control during this intense riot. As our eyes wander through this historical tableau, we are reminded that even in times long gone by, people were willing to fight for what they believed was right. This print not only showcases the artistry of capturing such moments but also provides valuable insight into societal dynamics during one of France's most tumultuous periods. With its vivid colors and intricate details meticulously preserved over time, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era marked by social upheaval and political unrest – reminding us that history continues to shape our present
