EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "French Revolution: 'I am of the Third State'" takes us back to the 18th century, a time of great political upheaval in France. This satirical engraving, created by an anonymous French artist, offers a glimpse into the sentiments and struggles of the common people during this revolutionary period. In the image, we see a group portrait featuring individuals from different walks of life. The central figure proudly declares their affiliation with the Third Estate, which represented the majority of French society at that time - peasants, workers, and middle-class citizens who were demanding equal rights and representation. Amidst this serious subject matter, there is also an element of joy depicted in the scene. Wine flows freely as people indulge in food and drink while engaging in lively conversation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst revolution and turmoil, human nature seeks moments of celebration and camaraderie. This artwork not only captures historical events but also sheds light on social issues prevalent during that era. The presence of alcoholism hints at some darker aspects within society while highlighting how alcohol was often used as an escape from harsh realities. Preserved within Paris' National Archives for centuries, this photograph allows us to reflect upon one pivotal moment in history when ordinary individuals rose up against oppression to shape their own destiny.
