Caption: "Liberation of the Territory: A Historical Engraving Depicting the Expulsion of Unauthorised Religious Congregations from French Territory in 1880". This print showcases a significant moment in French history, capturing the expulsion of unauthorised religious congregations from French territory following the decrees of March 1880. The engraving, originally published in "La republique illustree" offers a glimpse into this transformative period. The image portrays an allegorical scene where a young girl symbolizing France stands resolute alongside representatives of the clergy and laypeople. This powerful visual representation highlights the struggle between Catholicism and secular ideals during that era. Jules Ferry, who spearheaded these reforms as part of his educational policies, is credited with depriving unauthorized religious orders their right to teach. This move aimed to establish laicite (secularism) within education and reinforce the principles of the French Republic. The historical significance captured by Stefano Bianchetti's lens allows us to reflect on how religion and state interacted during this time. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, societies have grappled with finding balance between faith-based institutions and governmental authority. As we observe this thought-provoking engraving from our private collection, it invites us to delve deeper into France's rich past while contemplating its impact on modern-day society.
