L'essai (The experiment) is a graphic work about the anarchist commune created by Honoré Henry in 1903 in the French Ardenne, close to the Belgian border. I like the art, but I am more ambivalent about the cliché-laden content. I am also disappointed that there aren't more women in the illustrations, seeing as the pictures of the time showed as many men as women. 💕 for the use of Ardennais dialect on the double page in the picture.
