EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a painting preserved in the town hall of Aix en Provence, depicting "The three orders of France". Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 18th century, this cartoon offers a thought-provoking commentary on the inequality that persisted among these three social classes even after the revolution of 1789. The image portrays a scene filled with symbolism and satire. The three orders - clergy, nobility, and commoners - are depicted in exaggerated caricature form, highlighting their distinct characteristics and disparities. This visual representation serves as a reminder of the stark divisions that existed within French society at that time. Through clever artistic techniques such as exaggeration and distortion, the artist conveys a powerful message about social inequality. The cartoon challenges viewers to reflect on the impact of the revolution and question whether true equality was achieved or if new forms of hierarchy emerged. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures every intricate detail of this historical artwork. It allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance as a reflection of societal dynamics during one of France's most transformative periods. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in French history unfold before our eyes. It serves as both a testament to human progress and a reminder that there is still work to be done towards achieving true equality for all.
