EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Legislative Map of France following the historic Universal Suffrage law that was voted on the 31st of May in 1850. Printed by Burty in Paris in 1851, this artwork is a testament to the significant political changes that took place during the 19th century. The map, created under the direction of M. Theubet, vividly depicts France's intricate administrative divisions and political power dynamics. Each region is represented with its own unique nuances and shades, providing valuable insight into the country's diverse political landscape at that time. The use of orthogonal geometric shapes adds a sense of order and structure to this representation of French politics. The regions undergoing changes are highlighted in red, while those belonging to the Republican Conservative Party are depicted in blue. Areas where resistance against these changes persisted are shown in white. It is important to note that this legislative map resulted from a law that significantly reduced the number of eligible voters, disproportionately affecting those who were economically disadvantaged. This aspect highlights how enfranchisement can be influenced by various factors beyond just legal rights. This particular print is from the fourth edition and belongs to Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. It serves as a powerful reminder of both historical progress and ongoing struggles for equal voting rights around the world.
