EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration by Louis Alexandre Gosset de Guines dit Gill, featured in La Lune rousse on February 18,1877. Titled "Crac!" this graphic parody delves into themes of censorship, press/media, and the haunting presence of dead corpses. The artwork is a masterful creation that combines elements of Daumier's style with Bonapartist Bonapartism. Gill's skill as an engraver shines through in this piece, capturing the attention of viewers with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The image depicts a newspaper stand adorned with various publications, including a daily newspaper and a state-run publication. Symbolizing the power dynamics at play within the media landscape during that time period. The inclusion of dead corpses adds an eerie element to the composition, suggesting both physical and metaphorical censorship. It serves as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those who dared to challenge or expose corruption within society. As we delve into this artwork from the late nineteenth century, we are transported back in time to witness not only Gill's artistic brilliance but also gain insight into French culture during that era. This photograph print captures every nuance and stroke meticulously crafted by Gill himself. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for us to appreciate today—a testament to their dedication towards preserving historical art for future generations.
