EDITORS COMMENTS
Think of me first! (colour litho) captures the essence of French patriotism and democratic decision-making during the early 20th century. This photo print, part of a private collection, showcases an allegorical representation of the election process for a new President of the French Republic. The image transports us to Versailles, where members of the Chamber of Deputies and Senate gather to choose their leader. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on January 12,1913. It beautifully encapsulates the sentiment expressed by France towards its congressmen: 'Think of me first!' In this historic scene, we witness politicians deep in thought and concern as they fulfill their duty to select a president who will guide their nation forward. Raymond Poincaré, one such influential figure from that era, may have been among those vying for this prestigious position. Symbolism abounds in this piece; Marianne represents France herself – strong-willed and resolute – while various elements allude to democracy and national identity. The composition evokes a sense of anticipation as citizens eagerly await news about their future leader. This exceptional artwork not only reflects political dynamics but also serves as a testament to French culture's rich history. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it reminds us that making choices is at the heart of democracy – decisions that shape nations and impact countless lives.
