EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating illustration, titled "Concord between France, Italy and Britain. Come on, chicken! Come on!" depicts a powerful allegory of unity and resistance in early 20th century Europe. The artwork was created by the French School in 1903 for Le petit Journal. In this scene, we see the Gaulish rooster standing tall and proud as it is serenaded by the Roman wolf and British lion who sing in chorus, urging it to join their alliance against Germany. This symbolic representation alludes to recent interviews between French President Emile Loubet, King Edward VII of Britain, and King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy. After a period of isolation and hostility among these nations, they sought to consolidate their alliances as a united front against Germany's perceived invasive nature. The artist Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment through his intricate engraving technique. The colors used are vivid yet harmonious, bringing life to each character portrayed - from the regal lion to the fierce wolf guarding its territory. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of international relations during tumultuous times. It showcases how art can be used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a medium for political commentary. As we gaze upon this piece today, we are transported back in time to witness an era where diplomacy played out through animal symbolism on paper.
