EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment during the Conference against alcoholism at Fresnes Prison in France. The color lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 20th century, showcases the intensity and significance of this event. In this image, we see a crowded auditorium filled with prisoners who are enclosed within their boxes, attentively listening to a speaker addressing the issue of alcoholism. The audience's faces reflect both curiosity and hope as they hang on every word spoken. The speaker stands tall at the front of the room, passionately delivering his speech on temperance. The setting itself is striking - Fresnes Prison provides a stark backdrop for this conference aimed at combating alcohol addiction among inmates. This gathering represents an important step towards rehabilitation and transformation within the prison system. The composition of this lithograph beautifully captures not only the seriousness of alcoholism but also highlights French culture and history. It serves as a reminder that even within confinement, opportunities for change can arise through education and awareness. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images transports us back to March 22nd, 1903 when Le Petit Parisien published it as an illustration in their literary supplement. Its presence in private collections ensures its preservation so that future generations can appreciate its historical significance and artistic value alike.
