EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the journey of Gaston Doumergue, the President of the French Republic, to the North. Taken in Douai in 1927, this engraving from "The Little Journal Illustrates" showcases an extraordinary scene filled with symbolism and tradition. In the image, we see President Gaston Doumergue standing tall as he graciously receives a crown of flowers. This gesture is made even more special by the presence of two giant models known as "Gayant" and "Marie Cagenon" which are symbolic figures representing the city. The atmosphere is filled with patriotism and pride as locals gather around to witness this historic event. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti bring out every element of this street scene. The flag waving proudly in the background signifies national unity and loyalty. As a statesman, Doumergue's presence exudes authority and respect. This engraving not only highlights an important political figure but also emphasizes cultural customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted folklore is within French society. Preserved in a private collection, this remarkable print allows us to travel back in time to experience firsthand one chapter from France's rich history. It stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance.
