The resounding cheers from an adoring crowd echo through time, symbolizing both admiration for their leader and France's enduring spirit. However, not all moments at the they were filled with celebration. In 1894, tragedy struck as Sadi Carnot fell victim to assassination in Lyon. A colored engraving immortalizes this somber event that shook the nation. Yet amidst these tumultuous times, there were also instances of unity and diplomacy. Witness President Loubet meeting with a Breton delegation within these hallowed walls; their colorful litho portrait reflects hope for collaboration and progress. The Elysee Palace has been witness to many historical milestones throughout its existence. Engravings depicting celebrations during the Centenary Festival of the French Revolution remind us that even after one hundred years, echoes of liberty still reverberate within these halls. During France's Second Republic (1848-1852), vibrant lithographs capture political fervor unfolding at this very site – illustrating how power can shift hands while democracy endures. Not only is it a place for political affairs but also cultural exchanges; observe an enthralling fencing match held before esteemed guests including Leopold II, King of Belgium - showcasing international camaraderie against an opulent backdrop. Tragedy strikes again as a colored lithograph commemorates the death of President Faure.
