EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic moment of "The suicide of General Boulanger" in vivid color lithography. Taken by Henri Meyer, this image showcases the solemn scene at the cemetery of Ixelles in Brussels, Belgium. The photograph was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on October 10,1891. In this haunting depiction, we witness General Boulanger's despair and final act within the confines of a sacred burial ground. With a pistol in hand, he stands alone amidst the tombstones, surrounded by a somber atmosphere that echoes his inner turmoil. The composition evokes a sense of isolation and introspection as Boulanger contemplates his fate. General Georges Ernest Boulanger was a prominent French politician who found himself exiled from his homeland due to political controversies during the late 19th century. This image serves as both a historical record and an artistic interpretation of his tragic demise. Meyer's skillful use of color brings depth and emotion to this poignant moment in European history. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to an era when politics held immense power over individuals' lives and destinies. "The suicide of General Boulanger" is not just an exploration into one man's desperate act but also serves as a reminder of how political strife can lead even influential figures down paths filled with darkness and despair.
