EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of "Le Grelot" number 655, Satirique en Couleurs, dated October 28th, 1883. The illustration featured on the cover is titled "Un farce diabolique - Republicain" and was created by Alfred Le Petit. In this satirical piece, we see a devilish figure representing Rochefort Henri (1831-1913), a prominent journalist and military man of that era. The image cleverly portrays Rochefort as a mischievous demon with an allegorical twist. Dressed in a military uniform, he holds a padlock symbolizing his power to control information within the press. This engraving serves as both social commentary and political caricature during the late 19th century in France. Alfred Le Petit's intricate detailing brings this artwork to life, capturing the essence of demonization prevalent at that time. As one of France's most renowned illustrators and engravers, Le Petit skillfully depicts Rochefort's devilish persona while maintaining artistic integrity. This historical artifact offers us insight into French literature and journalism during this period. It also highlights the influence writers had on shaping public opinion through their written works. Preserved for posterity by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also its cultural significance in European history.
