EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of Therese Humbert being questioned by an investigating judge. The colour litho artwork, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the dramatic scene that unfolded during one of France's most notorious financial scandals. Therese Humbert, a cunning fraudster who posed as the heir to a fictional American millionaire, sent shockwaves through the French financial world when her deceit was exposed. The scandalous revelation led to an international manhunt for Humbert and her family. Fleeing to Madrid did not grant them freedom, as they were apprehended by Spanish authorities and returned to France to face trial. In this illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on January 25th, 1903, we witness Therese Humbert inside the judge's office during her interrogation. The image portrays a woman caught in her web of deception facing justice head-on. The composition highlights key elements such as questioning, criminality, and justice within a legal system setting. It provides insight into how investigations were conducted at that time while shedding light on French culture and its judicial practices. This print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into an intriguing chapter of history filled with crime and deception. It serves as a reminder that even those who orchestrate elaborate schemes will eventually face accountability under the law.
