EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic revolt of prisoners in Cairo, depicted as a back cover illustration from Le Petit Journal on January 18th, 1914. The vivid color lithograph showcases the chaos and violence that unfolded during this historical event. In the image, we see uniformed soldiers facing off against rebellious prisoners in a courtyard setting. The prisoners, dressed in traditional striped attire and donning fez hats, are shown defiantly pointing towards their oppressors. Armed with guns and bayonets, the soldiers stand ready to suppress the uprising. The scene is filled with tension and desperation as shots are fired and violence erupts within the prison walls. The architecture of an arch frames this dramatic moment while adding depth to the composition. This powerful artwork not only serves as a visual record of a significant historical event but also highlights themes of resistance and oppression. It offers us a glimpse into the struggles faced by those imprisoned under harsh conditions in Cairo at that time. The artist's attention to detail brings forth emotions of fear, anger, and determination through their skillful use of color and composition. This print serves as a poignant reminder of past injustices while honoring those who fought for freedom amidst adversity.
