Created by artist Henri Meyer and featured in Le Petit Journal on March 5th, 1892, this artwork portrays the atmosphere surrounding conscription and politics during that time. The image showcases a bustling street scene with men and boys dressed in colorful attire. A group of schoolchildren can be seen playing musical instruments while others hold banners and flags representing their country. The tricolour flag proudly waves above them, symbolizing France's unity. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage races through the road as if carrying an important candidate for electioneering. The vibrant colors of clothing and buildings add life to this snapshot of historical significance. This artwork not only highlights the political climate but also sheds light on the impact of war on society. It serves as a reminder of how conscription affected individuals from all walks of life, including young boys who were forced into military service at an early age.
