EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the scandalous moment when Georges Clemenceau, the renowned French statesman, is depicted juggling bags of English money in 1893. Created by artist Henri Meyer and featured in Le Petit Journal on August 19th, 1893, this artwork sheds light on a controversial event surrounding the funding of the Panama Canal. During this time, Clemenceau faced accusations of falsely accepting funds to work in favor of British interests. The image portrays him with his signature moustache and wearing a distinguished dinner jacket and top hat. Standing against a backdrop of clear blue skies and water transport vessels, he confidently performs his juggling act. The composition highlights not only Clemenceau's physical prowess but also symbolizes corruption and dishonesty within finance and politics. This caricature-like portrayal emphasizes the public perception at that time. As one of France's most influential figures during the late nineteenth century, Clemenceau's involvement in such a scandal was significant news. The print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation capturing a critical moment in French history. Henri Meyer skillfully brings this scandal to life through his artistry while preserving its essence for future generations to reflect upon. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print remains an important piece within art media archives today.
