EDITORS COMMENTS
The caricature of Raymond Poincare captures a significant moment in French history as he moves to the prestigious Elysee Palace. Created by Xavier Sager in February 1913, this colored engraving showcases the President of the French Republic during his transition to his new official residence. In this whimsical artwork, Poincare is depicted as a caged bird being transported in a cart. The clever use of symbolism portrays the constraints and responsibilities that come with holding such a high political office. As he moves towards the Elysee Palace, surrounded by furniture and personal belongings, it becomes evident that Poincare's life is about to undergo a major transformation. Poincare himself was an influential figure who served as President from 1913 until 1920. Known for his strong leadership skills and diplomatic abilities, he played a crucial role in navigating France through World War I and its aftermath. This print not only offers an amusing portrayal of Poincare's move but also provides insight into the political climate of early 20th-century France. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of one man's journey towards power and responsibility. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this engraving stands as a testament to Raymond Poincare's legacy as well as Xavier Sager's talent for capturing complex themes through artistry.
