EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Ten Assassinations Penny 1897" by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen takes us on a journey through the dark underbelly of society. This thought-provoking print, measuring 60.6 x 46.5 cm, transports us to a time when penny prints were popular forms of entertainment. Steinlen's artistic prowess shines through in this piece as he skillfully depicts ten different assassinations within a single frame. Each scene is meticulously detailed, capturing the intensity and violence of these acts with haunting precision. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are confronted with the harsh realities of human nature and its capacity for destruction. It serves as a stark reminder that even in an era known for progress and innovation, darkness still lingers beneath the surface. The choice to depict these scenes on such a small scale - each assassination available for just one penny - adds another layer of intrigue to the artwork. It raises questions about voyeurism and our fascination with violence, forcing us to confront our own morbid curiosity. Steinlen's Swiss origins bring an international perspective to this work, reminding us that violence knows no borders or boundaries. His mastery over lithography is evident in every stroke and line, creating a visual narrative that leaves an indelible mark on our consciousness. This print from Liszt Collection is not just a mere commercial item; it is an invitation to delve into the darker recesses of humanity and reflect upon our own role in shaping society's destiny
