EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The two cocks are crowns" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Paris in 1871. Captured by photographer Leonard de Selva, this image showcases a cover from the renowned French journal "L Eclipse" created by artist Andre Gill. Intriguingly, the artwork features two roosters adorned with regal crowns. Symbolically representing power and authority, these majestic creatures stand tall against a backdrop of political turmoil and social change that characterized France during that time. Gill's masterful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail of the roosters' feathers, while their intense gaze seems to convey an air of confidence and defiance. The composition exudes a sense of dynamism, as if these birds are ready to take on any challenge that comes their way. "The two cocks are crowns" serves as both a visual delight and a thought-provoking commentary on the state of affairs in 19th-century France. It reminds us how art can transcend its medium to reflect societal values and aspirations. As we admire this timeless piece, let it transport us back in time to witness history unfolding through the eyes of talented artists like Andre Gill.
