EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the cover of "Le Don Quixote", number 733, Satirique en Couleurs, a satirical journal from 1888. The illustration by Charles Gilbert-Martin depicts a scene filled with symbolism and political commentary. In the center of the image stands a clergyman, representing religious order and authority. However, instead of paying attention to him, people are passing by without giving him any notice. This anticlericalism is evident in the title of the artwork: "We'll pass on him instead!". It reflects a growing sentiment against the influence and power held by religious institutions during that time. Surrounding this central figure are various symbols related to military service cure and education syllabus. These elements highlight societal issues such as mandatory military service being used as a means to reform individuals or distract them from critical thinking about government policies. The artist's use of caricature adds an element of satire to this piece. Through exaggerated features and humorous depictions, Gilbert-Martin criticizes both religious figures and governmental practices. This photograph offers us a glimpse into French society during the late 19th century – a time marked by social unrest, political debates, and changing attitudes towards religion and governance. It serves as an important historical document that sheds light on these complex dynamics through visual storytelling.
