EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Orphelin (Orphan)" takes us on a journey into the depths of 19th-century French Guiana, where adventure and terror intertwine. The image, a colour lithograph by Frederic Theodore Lix, captures the essence of Louis Boussenard and Henry Malin's novel serialised in Le Petit Journal. The scene depicts a group of escaped prisoners discovering a haunting sight amidst their treacherous journey. In the eerie light, we see skeletons scattered across the ground, evoking both fear and fascination. A woman stands at the forefront, her expression filled with anguish and anxiety as she confronts this macabre spectacle. The print transports us to an era when literature was intertwined with horror and suspense. It serves as a reminder of France's colonial past and its overseas territories' dark history. The French culture is deeply embedded within this image; it reflects both the gruesome reality faced by those imprisoned in French Guiana and the terrifying imagination brought forth by authors like Boussenard and Malin. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, our senses are awakened to feelings of unease mixed with curiosity. It reminds us that even within works of art lies an opportunity for introspection into our own fears and anxieties – emotions that transcend time and place.
