EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRENCH INFLATION, 1792-93" takes us back to a tumultuous period in French history. Depicting the severe inflation that plagued France during 1792-93, it showcases an intense chase between peasants and aristocratic and clerical gold and silver hoarders. The colored etching beautifully captures the chaos and desperation of the time. In this image, we witness a mob of determined peasants pursuing those who have amassed great wealth while their country suffers from economic turmoil. With scythes raised high and swords at their sides, these common people are driven by a mix of rebellion against oppression and greed for financial stability. The contrast between the opulent robes worn by the aristocrats and clergymen being chased with sacks full of precious metals is stark. It serves as a powerful symbol of societal inequality that fueled the flames of revolution during this late stage of the French Revolution. As we delve into this thought-provoking artwork, it becomes evident that money has become both a weapon for survival and a catalyst for change. The artist skillfully captures not only historical events but also human emotions such as fear, determination, hopelessness, and resilience. "FRENCH INFLATION, 1792-93" offers us a glimpse into an era marked by social unrest where ordinary individuals dared to challenge those who held power through wealth alone. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of extreme hardship, people will rise up against
