EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of the Centenary Festival of the French Revolution of 1789, a momentous event in history. The scene is set at the Elysee Palace, where politicians and dignitaries have gathered to commemorate this significant anniversary. The focal point of the image is President Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, who sits atop a majestic horse, exuding power and authority. Surrounding him are various individuals engaged in animated conversations, discussing political matters and reminiscing about the revolution that shaped their nation. The artist has skillfully depicted the atmosphere of excitement and tension that permeates through this historical gathering. The assassination attempts on May 5th are subtly referenced by figures glancing nervously over their shoulders, reminding us of the fragility of political stability during such events. Transported back to Paris in 1889 through this print, we witness an array of animals adding a touch of life to this otherwise serious occasion. Horses gallop gracefully across Versailles' grand salle while ponies graze peacefully nearby. These creatures symbolize strength and freedom - qualities deeply intertwined with both France's history and its revolutionary spirit. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but be reminded that anniversaries like these serve as reminders for societies to reflect on their pasts while envisioning brighter futures. This engraving encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in French history but also celebrates European unity amidst diverse cultures within the European Union
