EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Universal Suffrage" transports us back to the 19th August of 1893, a time when political scandals and corruption plagued the French society. Created by Henri Meyer, this coloured engraving from Le Petit Journal's supplement captures the essence of a significant moment in history. The image portrays an allegorical scene filled with symbolism and powerful imagery. At its center stands Marianne, a symbol of liberty and the embodiment of the French Republic. She is accompanied by workers representing different social classes, all united under one cause - universal suffrage. In their hands, these voters hold ballots as they exercise their right to vote. The tricolore flag waves proudly in the background while a majestic lion guards over them, signifying strength and courage. This artwork serves as both a response to the infamous Panama Affair scandal that shook France during that period and a commentary on corrupt politics. It depicts politicians who were sentenced but managed to escape prison time, highlighting how those responsible for swindling public funds often evade punishment. Through this print, Meyer sheds light on the importance of democracy and transparency in governance. It reminds us that universal suffrage empowers citizens to hold their leaders accountable for their actions. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect our democratic values and ensure that every voice is heard in shaping our future societies.
