Faites Done taire Pendant Que Je Telephonerai A Carmau
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Make them be quiet while I phone Carmau) is a captivating coloured sketch from the early 20th century, circa 1901, showcased in the esteemed March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online. This evocative image captures an intriguing interaction between a distinguished member of parliament and a fashionably dressed young lady, seated on the other side of the table. The member of parliament, with a serious expression and donning the traditional attire of the time, is engrossed in a heated conversation, likely a debate or important matter of state. Across from him, a young woman, elegantly dressed in the latest fashion trends, listens intently, her eyes fixed on the parliamentarian. Her posture and attire suggest that she is not only well-versed in the ways of high society but also possesses a sharp intellect and a strong will. This scene is a testament to the changing roles of women in society during the early 1900s. The young woman's presence and active engagement in the conversation demonstrate the growing influence of women in political and social spheres. The sketch, titled "les maitres de la caricature" (the masters of caricature) by Jean Louis Forain, is a visual commentary on the evolving relationship between the genders and the shifting power dynamics within society. The vibrant colours and detailed brushstrokes bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era of change and progress. This coloured sketch is not only a beautiful addition to any album or collection but also a valuable historical document that offers insights into the social and political climate of the early 1900s.
