EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and tragic print captures a heart-wrenching scene of despair and hopelessness. Depicting a mother who asphyxiated herself and her three innocent children, the image portrays the devastating consequences of poverty in early 20th century France. The artist Carrey, known for his powerful illustrations, skillfully conveys the horror of this unimaginable act. The colour litho technique adds depth to the composition, intensifying the emotional impact on viewers. Taken from Le Petit Parisien newspaper in March 1909, this illustration sheds light on the harsh realities faced by those living in squalor during that time. The desperate circumstances these individuals endured pushed them to such extreme measures. The image serves as a stark reminder of how desperation can drive people to unthinkable actions. It also highlights society's failure to provide adequate support for those trapped in cycles of poverty and despair. As we gaze upon this heartbreaking scene, we are confronted with our own responsibility to address social inequalities and ensure that no one is left behind. This photograph stands as both a testament to human suffering and a call for compassion towards those most vulnerable among us. May it serve as a poignant reminder that every life deserves dignity and hope – an urgent plea against allowing such tragedies to repeat themselves throughout history.
