EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amnesty! : The Old Iron Breaker" takes us back to the year 1879, when French artist Gill created this cartoon of Victor Hugo for "The Little Moon". The image showcases the incredible talent and wit of Gill, who was known for his caricatures and engravings. In this particular piece, we see a depiction of Victor Hugo, one of France's most celebrated writers. With a stern expression on his face, he stands as an emblematic figure representing peace and amnesty. The title itself suggests that Hugo is breaking through the iron barriers that have confined society's perception of justice. Gill's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From the intricate lines that define Hugo's facial features to the subtle shading techniques used to create depth and dimension, it is clear that Gill was a master at his craft. This print captures not only the essence of Victor Hugo but also reflects upon the literary world during that era. It serves as a reminder of how influential writers like him can shape public opinion and advocate for change through their words. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Leonard de Selva, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in history where art meets literature meets activism.
