EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Tollbooth in Lyon is plundered as a result of increased excise duties, 1625" captured by Caspar Luyken and Pieter van der Aa in 1698, we are transported back to a tumultuous moment in history. The image depicts the aftermath of a riot that erupted due to the imposition of higher excise taxes. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as angry protesters have laid siege to the tollbooth in Lyon. The tollbooth stands as a symbol of authority and oppression, now left ravaged by the fury of those who felt burdened by excessive taxation. Broken windows, scattered debris, and smoke lingering in the air all bear witness to the intensity of this uprising. Luyken's masterful composition captures not only the physical damage but also conveys an atmosphere charged with emotion. One can almost feel the anger and frustration seeping through every inch of this powerful image. This print from Quint Lox's collection serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have fought against injustice and unfair policies imposed upon them. It invites us to reflect on our own society's struggles for equality and justice while appreciating how art can immortalize these significant moments for generations to come.
