EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing illustration from Le Charivari, dated October 24, 1872, captures the political climate of the Second Empire in France. Depicting Adolphe de Forcade La Roquette's candidacy coming to a halt, it symbolizes the end of an era in Gironde politics. The artist Stop (1825-1899) skillfully portrays this moment with allegorical elements such as a kick and broom representing the sweeping away of Bonapartist Bonapartisme.
Forcade's last word in the election is illustrated through powerful imagery like a sword and glove, highlighting the intensity of political competition during this time. The mountain and water in the background add depth to the scene, suggesting natural forces at play in shaping history.
This engraving serves as both a historical document and a work of art, capturing the essence of French politics in the late nineteenth century. It is a reminder of how symbols and allegories were used to convey complex ideas and emotions during this tumultuous period.
