EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration, titled "Rioters (maillotins) refusing to pay a tax on food are thrown into the Seine (1382)" takes us back to a tumultuous period in French history. Created by Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville, Jacques, in 1896, this artwork captures a scene from the late 14th century. During the reign of Charles VI, rioters known as maillotins took to the streets in protest against a new tax imposed on food. In their desperation and anger, they resorted to looting the City Hall before facing dire consequences. The image depicts these defiant individuals being forcefully thrown into the Seine River as punishment for their actions. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. From the expressions of fear and resistance on the faces of those being cast into the water to the chaos unfolding around them, this illustration vividly portrays both physical struggle and emotional turmoil. Through this powerful visual narrative, Job reminds us of an era marked by social unrest and inequality. It serves as a poignant reminder that throughout history people have fought against oppressive systems even at great personal risk. This historical print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon past struggles for justice while also contemplating our own role in shaping society today.
