Je Savais Bien Que Nous Aurions Notre Tour
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking caricature that vividly captures the social dynamics of 18th-century France. This coloured engraving, created by an anonymous French artist, depicts the Three Orders - nobility, clergy, and peasants - in a satirical manner. The image showcases the rise of the working class as they carry a nobleman on their backs while balancing scales with a rabbit representing the clergy. The allegorical representation symbolizes the shifting power dynamics within society during this period. The caption "I knew that in the end we would have our turn" encapsulates both hope and determination felt by those who were oppressed for centuries. It reflects their belief in eventual justice and equality despite being subjected to societal hierarchies. This artwork serves as a powerful commentary on social inequality, highlighting how ordinary people yearned for change and recognition of their rights. It also exposes the hypocrisy of those in power who exploit others for personal gain. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this print continues to resonate with viewers today. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also as a reminder of past struggles and aspirations for a more just society.
