EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eugene Turpin released from Etampes Prison" depicts a significant moment in history captured by the French School in the 19th century. The image showcases Eugene Turpin, a chemist and inventor of the explosive Melinite, being freed from his wrongful imprisonment at Etampes Prison. Turpin's unjust incarceration stemmed from false accusations of selling classified information about his invention to the Germans. However, this photograph symbolizes his long-awaited release and marks a turning point in his fight for justice. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the emotions felt during this premiere heure de liberte (first hour of freedom). It was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on April 29,1893. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both triumph and tragedy - Turpin's liberation representing freedom regained after enduring years behind bars for a crime he did not commit. This visual testament serves as a reminder that even in times when injustice prevails, there is hope for redemption. Through its portrayal of Eugene Turpin's release from Etampes Prison, this artwork sheds light on an important chapter in French history while also emphasizing the resilience and strength of individuals who have faced miscarriages of justice.
