EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Reveillon House during the French Revolution in France. The image, taken by Jean Edouard Dargent (Yan) in 1824-99, transports us back to a tumultuous time in history. The Reveillon Riots, which took place between April 26th and 29th, 1789, were centered in the St. Antoine district of Paris. At the heart of these riots was a factory owned by Jean-Baptiste Reveillon that produced luxury wallpaper. With around 300 employees, this factory became one of the first sites of violence during the French Revolution. What made this factory unique was its lack of guild control over quality standards - an uncommon practice in pre-revolutionary France. This deviation from traditional norms likely added fuel to the fire and intensified public discontent. In this thought-provoking illustration by Yan Dargent, we witness a pivotal moment where social unrest clashes with industrial progress. The Reveillon House stands as both a symbol and backdrop for these events that would shape France's future. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of how historical moments can be frozen in time through artistry and documentation. It invites us to reflect on the power dynamics at play during times of revolution and reminds us that even seemingly ordinary places can become catalysts for change.
