EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "L Assiette au Beurre, Issue no. 1 (Apr. 4), Caisse de Grève, 1901" by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, takes us back to a significant moment in French history during the Third Republic. The image showcases the front page of a newspaper from April 4th, featuring an illustration that depicts a group of figures engaged in a strike. The scene is filled with men and women from the working class, their faces etched with determination and resilience as they gather around to read about their cause. Poverty-stricken laborers stand side by side with coins clutched tightly in their hands, symbolizing both their meager wages and their unity against oppression. Steinlen's masterful use of lines brings depth to each character's expression - some show anger while others display hope or weariness. This powerful visual narrative captures the essence of the proletariat's struggle for fair treatment and better living conditions. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this lithograph not only serves as a historical document but also stands as an artistic testament to social justice movements that have shaped our world today. It reminds us of the importance of solidarity among workers throughout time and invites contemplation on how far we have come since those tumultuous days at the turn of the 20th century.
