EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photographic illustration dates back to 1895 and depicts the hand shadows of nine prominent figures of the late 19th century. The silhouettes of Lord Salisbury, Mr. Gladstone, Bismarck, The Late Czar, Gambetta, Crispi, Thiers, and Zola, are rendered with remarkable accuracy using only the artist's skillful manipulation of their own hands. Lord Salisbury, a British statesman and Prime Minister, is depicted with a serious expression, his hand forming a regal crown above his head. Mr. Gladstone, a Liberal politician and Prime Minister, is shown with his characteristic long, flowing beard and furrowed brow. Bismarck, the German Chancellor, is depicted with a stern expression and a hand forming a military helmet, reflecting his role as a military leader. The Late Czar, who is unnamed in the illustration, is shown with a cross above his head, representing his status as the ruler of the Russian Orthodox Church. Gambetta, a French politician and Prime Minister, is depicted with a hand forming a gallic rooster, a symbol of France. Crispi, an Italian politician and Prime Minister, is shown with a hand forming a fasces, a symbol of ancient Roman power. Thiers, a French politician and President, is depicted with a hand forming a tricorn hat, a symbol of the French Revolution. Zola, a renowned French novelist, is shown with a hand forming a quill pen, representing his literary prowess. This intriguing illustration offers a unique perspective on the famous figures of the late 19th century, allowing us to see them in a new light and appreciate the artistry of the illustrator. The use of hand shadows adds an element of whimsy and playfulness to the depiction of these serious and influential figures, making this an intriguing and captivating piece of Victorian-era history.
