EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the expulsion of the Marists of Tourcoing following Jules Ferry's decrees in March 1880. These decrees aimed to remove the right to teach from members of unauthorized religious congregations. The image showcases the intense atmosphere surrounding this event, as police officers disperse riders who are hostile towards the expulsion of the Marists. The scene is filled with tension and emotion, as both sides stand their ground amidst a backdrop of a convent. The police can be seen taking action to maintain order and enforce the government's decision, while onlookers observe with curiosity and concern. The surroundings of the convent have been stripped away, symbolizing not only physical removal but also an erasure of religious influence. Through this engraving from "Le Monde Illustre" we are transported back to November 8th, 1880 – a time when political decisions clashed with deeply held beliefs. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, conflicts between state power and religious freedom have shaped societies. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful capture allows us to reflect upon this pivotal moment in French history and contemplate its implications for individual rights and societal harmony. This print stands as both an artistic representation and historical documentation that continues to resonate today.
