EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Chamber of Deputies: The Refreshment Room" transports us back to the political scene of 19th-century France. Taken from Le Petit Journal on November 5th, 1892, this rare print captures a moment in time when politicians gathered in the buvette (refreshment room) for a well-deserved break. In this lively image, we see a group portrait of male deputies engaged in conversation and enjoying their drinks. Their animated expressions suggest that they are engrossed in passionate discussions about matters of state or perhaps sharing anecdotes from their respective constituencies. The atmosphere is undoubtedly convivial as glasses filled with wine adorn the tables. Amongst these distinguished figures are Basley, Pelletan, Millerand, Thivrier, Le Senne, Laguerre, de Cassagnac, and Rivet - names that resonate with historical significance. Each one played a role in shaping French politics during this era. The composition expertly captures the grandeur of the interior space with its high ceilings adorned by ornate chandeliers and richly decorated walls. This setting serves as a backdrop for both camaraderie and political intrigue. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved through Henri Meyer's skillful lithography technique, we cannot help but be transported to an era where politics unfolded within these hallowed halls. It reminds us that even amidst heated debates and differing ideologies; there was still time for friendship and shared moments over
