EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, the Election of the new President, from the illustrated supplement of Le Petit Journal. Taken on July 9th, 1894, this colourful lithograph by Frederic Lix depicts a scene filled with chaos and disorder. In the aftermath of the assassination of French President Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, senators gathered to select his successor. However, what was meant to be a dignified and solemn occasion quickly devolved into an unruly spectacle reminiscent of misbehaving schoolboys. The image showcases M. Sauzet standing atop a table brandishing a ballot box as if it were a weapon. The room is filled with disarray as senators engage in brawls and scuffles while attempting to cast their votes. This snapshot not only provides insight into the political climate of France during that time but also highlights how even those entrusted with making important decisions can succumb to petty behavior and discord. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded that power struggles and conflicts within politics are not exclusive to our modern era. It serves as both a reminder and warning about the fragility of democracy when individuals prioritize personal agendas over collective progress. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder offers us an opportunity to reflect on past events while encouraging us to strive for more civil discourse in shaping our future leaders.
