EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon print from June 1873 captures the political tensions between England and France during that time. Titled "Macmahon or Thiers?", it pokes fun at France for choosing the dashing soldier Macmahon over the more practical businessman Thiers as their leader. The image shows a contrast between the two men, with Macmahon depicted as a heroic figure in military attire, while Thiers is portrayed as a dull and uninteresting individual.
The choice between these two leaders reflects larger debates about leadership styles and priorities in government. While some may have been drawn to Macmahon's charisma and military background, others may have preferred Thiers' experience in business and governance.
England's mockery of France's decision highlights the ongoing rivalry between the two countries, with each nation believing they know what is best for their neighbor. This historical event serves as a reminder of how politics can be influenced by personal preferences and perceptions of leadership qualities.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of 1873, showcasing how even seemingly trivial decisions can spark debate and ridicule on an international scale.
