EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cover of 'The Sans-Panties', number 2, Satirical in Colors" captures a powerful and thought-provoking image from the late 19th century. Created by Alfred Le Petitty, this illustration showcases a blend of political satire and mythological symbolism. In the center of the composition stands Jupiter Tonnonnant, representing both Zeus from Greek mythology and an embodiment of power. With lightning bolts in hand, he exudes anger and fury towards religious orders such as Jesuites. This portrayal reflects the growing anticlerical sentiment during that time period. Surrounding Jupiter are various elements that convey deeper meanings. The presence of Gambetta Leon suggests the failure of the Church's influence on Republican ideals in France. Additionally, Jesus is depicted alongside mythological characters, highlighting a juxtaposition between religion and secularism. Le Petit's artistic style adds to the impact of this piece with intricate engravings and attention to detail. Through his work, he effectively communicates complex emotions like rage and furor associated with societal changes occurring at that time. This print serves as a historical artifact capturing not only political sentiments but also reflecting broader European cultural shifts during the late 19th century. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into themes surrounding religion, politics, journalism, and social change within Europe's evolving landscape.
