Mission Accomplished - The Franc Leaving Raymond Poincare's Nursing Home and Following the Pound Sterling
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and satirical print, created by Edmond Tapissier in 1928, captures a pivotal moment in French economic history. Depicting the personification of the French currency, the franc, leaving Raymond Poincare's nursing home and following its stronger counterpart, the pound sterling, this caricature reflects France's struggle with financial instability during that time. Raymond Poincare, who was re-elected as French Premier in 1926 to address France's dire financial situation, faced an uphill battle as the franc had lost four fifths of its value against the dollar. However, through his determined efforts and strategic measures, he managed to stabilize and rejuvenate the struggling currency. The artist cleverly portrays this accomplishment by illustrating a transformed and revitalized "Petit France" symbolizing both freedom from economic turmoil and newfound strength. The departing franc signifies a departure from past hardships while embracing stability under Poincare's leadership. Tapissier's use of color lithography adds depth to this scathing satire on overinflation and economic crisis. With meticulous attention to detail, he highlights not only the financial operations' success but also emphasizes how destabilization can be overcome through effective finance management. This print serves as a testament to both historical events and artistic expression. It reminds us of our ability to navigate challenging times successfully while offering a timeless commentary on economics that remains relevant today
