EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration by Charles Vernier captures a moment of fear and danger in 19th century France. The image, originally published in Le Charivari on July 15,1850, depicts a parachute missing its intended effect. The engraving portrays the theme of censorship and press/media control during that time. In the foreground, we see prominent statesmen such as Thiers Adolphe, Montalembert Charles de, Dupin Andre-Marie dit Dupin aine, and Berryer dit Pierre Antoine Berryer fil. They are depicted anxiously watching as an eteignoir (a device used to extinguish flames) destroys the physical wear on the parachute. The artwork symbolizes the struggle for freedom of expression in French society at that time. It highlights the dangers faced by journalists and their constant battle against censorship imposed by those in power. Vernier's skillful engraving technique brings out every detail of this political scene with precision. The composition evokes a sense of tension and anticipation as viewers witness the potential fall from grace for those who dare to challenge authority. This historical print serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of freedom of speech while also reminding us to remain vigilant against any attempts to suppress it.
