EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in French history, featuring Georges Boulanger, a renowned French general from the late 19th century. In this English cartoon by Sir John Tenniel, created in 1888 during the Belle Époque era, Boulanger is depicted waiting backstage while President Sadi Carnot bows to his audience. The image symbolizes Boulanger's disapproval of government proposals for revising the constitution of the Third Republic. Boulanger's distinguished appearance is highlighted with his beard and mustache, as well as his military uniform adorned with epaulettes and a bicorn hat. He exudes an air of authority and confidence on stage, ready to take center stage when it is his turn. This parody-like portrayal reflects the political tensions of that time period in France. Boulanger was seen as an entertainer challenging traditional politics and garnering support through charismatic performances. His popularity among men who were dissatisfied with the current regime made him a formidable figure in French politics. The photograph provides insight into both historical events and artistic expression during this era. It serves as a reminder of how influential figures like Georges Boulanger shaped France's political landscape during their time.
