EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - the period leading up to the election. Taken from Le Petit Journal, Supplement Illustre on 2nd September 1893, this illustration by Henri Meyer showcases the political landscape of that time. In the center of the frame, we see a framed portrait of Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, who served as the fourth president of the French Third Republic. Surrounding him are various elements symbolizing both urban and rural life. A group of peasants can be seen rallying together, wearing their hats and smoking pipes while sitting on stools. The image cleverly depicts Georges Clemenceau juggling bags filled with English money, alluding to the Panama Canal scandal. The composition also features an elegant politician dressed in a three-piece suit and top hat shaking hands with voters at a café table. This satirical portrayal highlights some common stereotypes associated with politicians during electoral campaigns - balding hypocrites purchasing votes through shady means. Overall, this print offers us insight into not only political dynamics but also social aspects such as class divide and public sentiment during elections in late 19th-century France. It serves as a reminder that even then, politics was rife with controversy and intrigue.
