EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the interrogation of anarchist Auguste Vaillant. In this intense scene, Vaillant is seen confessing to the attack he committed on December 9,1893, at the deputes room in the Palais Bourbon. The setting is the Hotel Dieu, where this crucial event unfolded. Published in one of France's prominent newspapers, "Le Petit Parisien" on December 24th, 1893, this image holds immense historical value. It provides us with a glimpse into an era marked by political unrest and social upheaval. The French School artist who created this engraving skillfully captures the tension and drama surrounding Vaillant's confession. We can sense his defiance as well as his vulnerability under scrutiny from both doctors and authorities alike. As we examine this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how press coverage played a vital role in disseminating information during that time period. This particular newspaper article sheds light on not only Vaillant's actions but also highlights broader themes such as anarchism and its impact on society. Preserved within a private collection today, this print by Stefano Bianchetti continues to serve as an important historical artifact that invites us to reflect upon past events while contemplating their relevance to our present-day world.
