EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Simmering election campaign" takes us back to the late 19th century in France, during the Third Republic. Created by renowned artist Albert Robida, this colour lithograph captures the essence of a political campaign with a touch of humor and satire. The image showcases a group of French women engaging in lively discussions about politics, surrounded by various politicians who are vying for their votes. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, Robida's caricatures add an amusing twist to this electoral scene. Through his scathing satire, Robida sheds light on the complexities of political campaigns during that era. The cartoon-like depiction serves as both social commentary and entertainment, highlighting the power dynamics at play within French politics. This satirical drawing not only reflects the unique style of Robida but also offers insight into French culture and society at that time. It reminds us that even in the late 19th century, elections were filled with intrigue, manipulation, and humorous moments. As we observe this piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of how political campaigns have evolved over time while still retaining some familiar elements. This artwork is not just a snapshot from history; it is an invitation to reflect on past electoral processes while appreciating art's ability to capture both amusement and criticism simultaneously.
