EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts a French anarchist figure, either Alphonse Gallaud de la Perouse, better known as Zo d'Axa, or Han Ryner, both influential anarchist philosophers and activists of the late 19th century. The drawing, created by Phil May around the 1890s, captures the intensity and passion of their political beliefs. Zo d'Axa, born in 1864, was an adventurer, anti-militarist, satirist, and journalist. He is best known for founding two legendary French magazines, L'En Dehors and La Feuille, which became symbols of the anarchist movement. With a sharp wit and biting satire, he used his writing to challenge the established order and advocate for individual freedom. On the other hand, Han Ryner, born in 1861, was a French individualist anarchist philosopher and novelist. He advocated for a radical form of anarchism that emphasized personal responsibility and self-reliance. Ryner's writings, which often explored themes of freedom, love, and the human condition, were deeply influential to the anarchist movement. In this caricature, the figure is shown with a determined expression, as if in the midst of a passionate argument or conveying a powerful political message. The artist, Phil May, masterfully captures the essence of these two influential anarchist thinkers, immortalizing their legacy in this striking image from the 1890s. Whether it's Zo d'Axa or Han Ryner, this caricature serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the French anarchist movement and the powerful impact of individual voices in shaping the course of history.
