EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Greve of the clerks in Paris. Taken on Rue de Levis, the image showcases a fierce fight that erupted between Grevist leaders and non-Grevists who were determined to continue their work. The intensity of the brawl is palpable, with individuals seen grappling and engaging in physical altercations. The engraving was featured in "Le petit journal" on August 1st, 1899, providing a visual account of this labor strike that shook France during the late nineteenth century. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical artifact, ensuring its significance endures. Henri Meyer's skillful rendering brings forth not only the violence but also highlights the power dynamics at play during this tumultuous time. It serves as a reminder of how deeply entrenched societal divisions can lead to clashes between factions with opposing ideologies. As we gaze upon this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back to an era when French culture was undergoing significant transformation. This photograph stands as a testament to both European unity and unrest within society during the early twentieth century. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this piece allows us to reflect on our past struggles for workers' rights while reminding us of our duty to create fairer societies for future generations.
