EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Republican France deserved the vote of the French" captures a significant moment in French history. Created by an anonymous 19th-century French artist, this print was featured in the renowned newspaper "Le Figaro" as a supplement on March 30,1889. The image showcases a scene of political importance and patriotism. The focus is on an office where citizens are casting their votes during an election in Republican France's Third Republic. The composition evokes a sense of democratic values and civic duty as individuals engage with ballot papers to exercise their right to vote. The historical context surrounding this artwork adds depth to its significance. During this period, France was transitioning into a republic after years of monarchy rule. This engraving serves as both documentation and celebration of that transformation. Collected by Selva and now part of a private collection, this piece offers viewers insight into the role played by the press in shaping society at that time. It highlights how newspapers like "Le Figaro" were instrumental in disseminating information about elections and fostering civic engagement among the French population. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable engraving while ensuring it remains accessible for public appreciation without any copyright restrictions. As we admire this artwork today, let us reflect upon its message: Republican France truly deserved the active participation and support from its citizens through voting – a timeless reminder for all democracies around the world.
