After the Election
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical and thought-provoking colour lithograph that captures the essence of political disillusionment in 19th century France. The image portrays a French politician, donning a top hat and smoking a cigar, who appears aloof and indifferent towards the working-class voters he had once courted during his election campaign. The artist, Henri Meyer, skillfully depicts the disappointment felt by these workers as they observe their elected representative ignoring their concerns. Their expressions reflect feelings of betrayal and ingratitude from someone they had placed their trust in. This caricature serves as a scathing commentary on the fickle nature of politics, highlighting how politicians can quickly become untrustworthy once they secure power. Through this artwork, Meyer exposes not only the selfishness and indifference of this particular candidate but also sheds light on broader issues within French politics at that time. The image symbolizes the disconnect between politicians and ordinary citizens, emphasizing how easily promises made during electioneering can be forgotten once victory is achieved. This powerful piece serves as a reminder that even though it was created over a century ago, its message remains relevant today. It prompts us to question our own political systems and encourages us to hold our elected officials accountable for their actions after elections are won.
