EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Counterfeiters caught in flagrante delicto" takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a pivotal moment in history. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from that era, showcases the dramatic arrest of these cunning malefactors. In this scene, we witness the culmination of a long and arduous investigation into a clandestine counterfeiting operation. The atelier where these counterfeit bills were meticulously crafted is now exposed for all to see. Various tools and materials used in their illicit trade are scattered across the room, revealing the meticulous attention to detail employed by these criminals. The engraving expertly captures the tension and surprise on both sides of this encounter. The authorities have successfully apprehended these culprits red-handed, freezing them in time as they attempt to escape justice. Their faces betray a mix of fear and resignation as they realize their fraudulent empire is crumbling before their eyes. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography brings this historical event vividly back to life. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era when money was not only a means of exchange but also a canvas for deception. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and evolving criminal tactics, law enforcement remains vigilant against those who seek personal gain through dishonest means. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry today, it stands as both evidence of past wrongdoing and testament to human resilience in combating such acts throughout history.
