EDITORS COMMENTS
The cover of "La Jeune Garde" from December 17, 1885, illustrated by Pierre-Albert Douat BlassJ. (1847-1892), captures a moment in French history with humor and satire. The image depicts President of the Republic Jules Grévy wearing his signature hat, being approached by a concierge who represents the common people. BlassJ.'s caricature style brings out the exaggerated features of both figures, highlighting the power dynamics at play during this time period. The title "The father always touches" hints at a deeper commentary on paternalistic leadership and political corruption. This print is not just a piece of art but a historical document that sheds light on the social and political climate of late 19th century France. The use of engraving adds to its authenticity as a representation of popular press during that era. As we look back on this image today, we can appreciate the skillful craftsmanship of BlassJ. and reflect on how far society has come since then. It serves as a reminder to remain vigilant against abuses of power and to uphold democratic values. Overall, this illustration is not only visually striking but also intellectually stimulating, inviting viewers to delve into its layers of meaning and historical significance.
