The Wafer - A Satirical Feast Exposing Greed and Corruption in 19th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Wafer" takes us back to the scandalous world of 19th century France. Created by Henri Meyer as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on January 7,1893, it offers a satirical commentary on the Festival of the Three Kings. In this scene, we witness a gathering of bankers and financiers indulging in gluttony and greed during their celebration of Epiphany or Twelfth Night. The image brilliantly captures the essence of excess and corruption that plagued French society at the time. Dividing slices of wafer-like delicacies symbolize not only their insatiable appetite for money but also their willingness to manipulate laws and exploit others for personal gain. As police officers stand ready to arrest these caricatured figures, we are reminded that even those entrusted with upholding justice can be swayed by wealth. Through biting satire, Meyer exposes the dark underbelly of French culture and tradition. This arresting artwork serves as a powerful reminder that unchecked greed can lead to crime and societal decay. "The Wafer" is more than just a snapshot from history; it serves as a timeless cautionary tale about the dangers posed by unbridled ambition and moral bankruptcy. It invites viewers to reflect on our own relationship with money, power, and ethics while reminding us that some traditions may need reevaluation in order to build a fairer
