EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in French politics during the early 1930s. Titled "National Assembly: demonstration by deputies against the tax on parliamentary allowances" the image showcases an energetic protest by members of parliament against a proposed 10 percent tax on their allowances. The scene is set within the National Assembly, where the benches and presidential gallery are noticeably empty, devoid of any deputies. Instead, it is the balconies or galleries that are filled with an enthusiastic crowd, passionately expressing their support for the protesting politicians. Created by Bogislas, a satirical cartoonist active during this period, this illustration was featured on the cover of Cyrano magazine in February 1933. The artwork cleverly highlights issues such as advantage taxation of parliamentarians and absenteeism among politicians. The composition exudes a sense of unity among both lawmakers and citizens alike who stand together against what they perceive as unfair taxation policies. It serves as a powerful reminder of how public sentiment can shape political discourse and influence decision-making processes. Patrice Cartier's masterful print preserves this significant moment in history for future generations to reflect upon. Through his lens, we witness not only a demonstration but also glimpses into societal attitudes towards money, power dynamics within politics, and collective action to protect one's interests.
