EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a powerful image from French history during the time of the 3rd Republic. The scene depicts the devil looming over the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, Paris, as seen in an issue of the anticlerical newspaper La Lanterne from around 1869. During this period, France was undergoing significant political and social change, with tensions between religious institutions and secular authorities running high. The image of the devil overlooking one of Paris's most iconic religious landmarks symbolizes the growing influence of anticlericalism and skepticism towards organized religion. The contrast between light and dark in this photograph is particularly striking, with the devil's menacing figure casting a shadow over the Sacre Coeur. This visual metaphor speaks to larger themes of power struggles and ideological conflicts that were prevalent during this era. Through its bold imagery and provocative symbolism, this print offers a glimpse into a tumultuous chapter in French history. It serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between religion, politics, and society during a time of great upheaval and transformation.
