Banishment Guards Jail Policemen Prison Repression
A Prisoner's Exile - A Glimpse into the Dark World of Crimes and Punishments
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "A prisoner is exiled" offers a haunting glimpse into the depths of human suffering and societal repression. Created by Felix Edouard Vallotton in 1902, this special edition of L'Assiette au Beurre magazine sheds light on the harsh realities faced by individuals entangled in a web of crime and punishment. The image portrays a desolate scene where a prisoner stands at the mercy of his captors. Surrounded by stern-faced policemen and guards, he receives news that will forever change his life - banishment from France. The caption reveals that this decree has been issued under the order of the Sultan, leaving him with only twenty-four hours to leave his homeland behind. Vallotton's masterful use of color lithography adds depth to this poignant portrayal. The somber tones evoke feelings of despair while highlighting society's indifference towards those who have fallen afoul of its laws. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of the power wielded by authorities but also how swiftly one can be cast out from their own country. It serves as a powerful commentary on themes such as banishment, repression, jail, prison - shedding light on an era when justice was often swift but rarely merciful. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece, let us reflect on our own notions of justice and compassion for those who find themselves trapped
