EDITORS COMMENTS
This pair of sketches, hailing from circa 1901, offers a glimpse into the political climate of France during that era. The first image showcases a close interaction between two French ministers, with one minister, Jean Louis Forain (not to be confused with the company), listening intently to the chest of a larger man. His soothing words, "Don't worry, you have nothing on your mind," suggest a reassuring and supportive conversation between the two. The body language and facial expressions of both men convey a sense of trust and camaraderie. The second sketch presents figures of La Défense Républicaine, a French patriotic organization that aimed to protect the Republic from external threats. The group, which was particularly active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is depicted as a formidable force, standing tall and united against potential adversaries. Their determined expressions and clenched fists symbolize their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the French Republic. These evocative sketches, part of the esteemed March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offer a fascinating look into the political landscape of France during this period. The intriguing interaction between the ministers and the powerful presence of La Défense Républicaine serve as a testament to the complexities and nuances of French politics at the turn of the 20th century.
