Monument to Leon Gambetta, Ville d Avray, Paris, 1891. Artist: Henri Meyer
Monument to Leon Gambetta, Ville d Avray, Paris, 1891. A Republican politician, Gambetta (1838-1882), was an opponent of the French Second Empire. In 1870 he proclaimed the Third Republic after Napoleon III was captured by the Prussians after the Battle of Sedan. Gambetta himself famously escaped from Paris in a hot air balloon when the city was besieged by the Prussians, rallying support for resistance to the invaders in the provinces. He was influential as the real leader of the republicans in politics in the first decade of the Third Republic, but did not actually hold office until a brief and unsuccessful period as premier in 1881-1882. A print from a supplement to Le Petit Journal, 21st November 1891

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Monument to Leon Gambetta, located in Ville d'Avray, Paris. Created by artist Henri Meyer in 1891, this stunning monument pays tribute to Leon Gambetta, a prominent Republican politician of the 19th century. Gambetta played a crucial role in French history when he proclaimed the Third Republic after Napoleon III's capture during the Battle of Sedan in 1870. Fleeing from besieged Paris in a hot air balloon, Gambetta rallied support for resistance against the Prussian invaders throughout the provinces. Although he held no official office until his brief and unsuccessful premiership from 1881-1882, Gambetta remained an influential figure within Republican politics during the first decade of the Third Republic. The photograph captures not only this remarkable statue but also its serene surroundings. The lush greenery and towering trees provide a picturesque backdrop for this symbol of republicanism and political leadership. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print beautifully preserves both artistry and historical significance. Preserved as part of Le Petit Journal's supplement on November 21st, 1891, this image serves as a testament to France's rich heritage and political legacy. As we admire this extraordinary piece of art media created by Henri Meyer over a century ago, we are reminded of Leon Gambetta's indelible mark on French history as an unwavering statesman who championed democracy during challenging times.
