EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "La verite sur le affaire Coco (Gambetta et ses 'chickens')" captures a moment in French political history. Taken by Alfred Le Petit and published in "Le Grelot" on December 17,1882, this caricature depicts the renowned statesman Léon Gambetta surrounded by his loyal supporters. Gambetta, known for his influential role during the early years of the Third Republic in France, is portrayed with humor and satire. The artist Alfred Le Petit skillfully exaggerates Gambetta's features to emphasize his power and influence. Surrounding him are his metaphorical "chickens" symbolizing the politicians who followed him closely. This image offers a glimpse into the complex world of French politics during that time period. It highlights Gambetta's charisma as he leads a group of devoted followers through turbulent times. The exaggerated nature of the caricature adds an element of entertainment while also shedding light on important political dynamics. Preserved in a private collection, this historical photograph serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only physical appearances but also societal attitudes and political climates. Leonard de Selva's reproduction ensures that this significant piece remains accessible to all who wish to explore its rich historical context.
