EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the dramatic moment of an assassination attempt against President Felix Faure of France during the Bastille Day celebrations at Longchamp, Paris in 1896. The image showcases a pivotal event in French history, depicting the shocking attack on the country's leader. The scene is filled with tension and chaos as President Faure finds himself targeted by a deranged individual. In this historical snapshot, we witness the assailant brandishing a gun while aiming directly at the president amidst a sea of startled onlookers. The artist skillfully conveys both fear and shock through their intricate engravings. Published in Le Petit Parisien newspaper on July 26th, 1896, this illustration serves as a powerful reminder of political turmoil during that era. It offers us insight into an important chapter in French culture and history - one that highlights both the vulnerability of politicians and society's collective response to such acts. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to late 19th-century France. We can almost feel the palpable tension emanating from those present at Longchamp that fateful day. This engraving not only documents an assassination attempt but also serves as a testament to resilience and determination within French society during trying times.
