EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a moment of profound grief and mourning. The scene depicts the deathbed of the son of Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, a prominent French statesman who served as the fourth president of the Third French Republic. Created by artist F Meaulle in 1898, this illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on October 16th. The room is dimly lit by candles placed delicately in candleholders, casting a soft glow on the somber atmosphere. A nun kneels beside the bed, her head bowed in prayer, symbolizing religious solace during this time of loss. In the background, we see other figures weeping and expressing their sorrow. A wreath adorns the footboard of the bed, serving as a solemn tribute to honor and respect for the departed soul. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to this emotional scene. This artwork transports us back to late 19th-century France when tragedy struck one of its most influential families. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power are not immune to heartache and loss. With its powerful imagery and historical significance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on themes such as mortality, faith, and compassion – timeless concepts that transcend time and place.
