EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The tip of the ear and the tip of the tail, between Adolphe Thiers in fox - Republique and Philippe d Orleans in Hare-monarchy" captures a momentous political satire from September 17,1871, in Paris. Created by Alfred Le Petit, a renowned French artist, this engraving showcases his exceptional talent for caricature. In this artwork featured on the cover of "L Eclipse" we witness an amusing portrayal of two prominent figures during that era. Adolphe Thiers is depicted as a cunning fox representing the Republic while Philippe d'Orleans personifies a hare symbolizing monarchy. The juxtaposition highlights their contrasting ideologies and political ambitions. Le Petit's intricate details bring life to this satirical piece. From every strand of fur on their ears and tails to their expressive facial features, he masterfully captures each character's essence with precision and humor. This print offers us a glimpse into France's turbulent political landscape during that time period. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary, reminding us how art can be used to reflect society's views on power dynamics. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical artifact continues to captivate viewers with its artistic brilliance and thought-provoking symbolism. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographs it here for all to appreciate its significance in French history.
