From The Dell to Dulwich, this collection of illustrations takes us on a journey through time. In the still life illustration by Henri Gousse (1872-1914) in Le Rire, we are transported to an era where sport was at the forefront. The Chambre des deputes Hemicycle becomes a boxing ring for political giants such as Clemenceau George, Jaures Jean, Briand Aristide, and Brisson Henri (1835-1912). Charles Leandre's cover illustration in Le Rire no. 198 of November 17th, 1906 showcases President Bibendum proclaiming his love for obstacles. "I also drink the obstacle, " he proudly declares, and is a satirical take on society's challenges during that time. The Dreyfus case of 1898 had a profound impact on French society. As depicted in various cartoons and covers like "Le Grelot" numbero 1480 from August 20th, 1899 or "L Action" from January 8th, 1914; it shows how Dreyfusards and supporters of separation between church and state watched their ideas bloom while being scrutinized under the watchful eye of justice. Jean Jaures (1859-1914), one of France's prominent socialists during that period faced physical confrontation when urging his socialist group to join the dreyfusard camp in Chamber Deputes - January 22nd, 1898. This incident highlights the intensity surrounding the Dreyfus case. Election Sketches in North Riding engraving captures political fervor during elections with its vivid portrayal of campaign scenes unfolding before our eyes. Tragedy struck when Jean Jaures was assassinated on the eve of irreparable events in Europe.
