"Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health." These words are widely attributed to Albert Camus, although there is no definitive evidence that he came up with them. However, it's very possible they are a paraphrase of his writing: Camus was a staunch opponent of totalitarianism and fascism, as reflected in works like La Peste (The Plague).
We have placed his supposed words against a background of a painting by his compatriot, Claude Monet, adapted here to show flags of nations across the world. In the original (La Rue Montorgueil), all the flags are the French Tricolour and celebrate the Third Universal Exhibition of Paris, 1878.
It is worth remembering Camus' sentiments - if not his words - in the face of the rise of populist right-wing movements in recent years.
Half Panama unbleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.
