EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Two policemen hide from the Commissioner's wife" we are transported back to the early 20th century. The image is a special edition of L'Assiette au Beurre, dated March 1st, 1902. Created by Felix Edouard Vallotton, a Swiss artist known for his unique style and social commentary through art. The scene depicts two French policemen seeking refuge from an unexpected encounter with the Commissioner's wife. Their uniforms and kepis identify them as law enforcement officers in their distinctive blue attire. With a sense of urgency and mischief in their eyes, they find solace behind a dilapidated wall on a bustling street corner. Vallotton masterfully captures the tension between duty and personal desires within this single frame. The caption reads: "Let's stay here; it's the Commissioner's wife". This simple phrase adds depth to the narrative, suggesting that these men may be avoiding her for reasons beyond professional obligations. This color lithograph showcases Vallotton's talent for storytelling through illustration. It serves as both an artistic expression and a historical document of its time—a snapshot frozen in history that invites us to imagine what lies beyond the frame. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, we can't help but wonder about the untold stories hidden within those streets filled with beggars and everyday life occurrences captured so vividly by Vallotton’s brush strokes.
