EDITORS COMMENTS
Now to work! : France exhorting the French at work, alluding to the end of the Dreyfus affair and to the prospect of the 1900 World Exhibition in "Le Petit Journal" captures a powerful moment in French history. This engraving by Eugene Damblans, dating back to 1899, showcases a significant turning point for both politics and society. The image depicts Marianne, symbolizing France herself, standing tall with determination and strength. She is surrounded by workers from various backgrounds, representing unity and diversity within the nation. The engraving serves as an allegory for overcoming adversity, specifically referencing the infamous Dreyfus affair that divided France along religious lines. The inclusion of Jewish symbolism highlights both religious tolerance and political progress during this period. As Alfred Dreyfus was wrongly accused due to his Jewish heritage, this artwork signifies a step towards justice and equality. Furthermore, Damblans cleverly hints at future events with references to the upcoming 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. This grand event would showcase technological advancements and cultural achievements on an international scale. In essence, "Now to work! : France exhorting the French at work" encapsulates hope for a brighter future while acknowledging past struggles. It stands as a testament to resilience and unity amidst challenging times in French history.
