The Incidents of Auteuil - An Aggression Against the President of the Republic
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in French history, showcasing the title page from Le Petit Journal on 18 June 1899. The image, a vibrant colour engraving by Henri Meyer, depicts an alarming incident that unfolded at Auteuil racetrack. President Emile Loubet finds himself under attack by an anti-Drefusard. In this striking scene, we witness the president being confronted by a male assailant brandishing a cane or walking stick with aggressive intent. The attacker's furious gestures and waving actions reflect his anger towards President Loubet. Shock and disbelief are etched across the faces of those present, including police officers dressed in formal attire and top hats. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. It represents not only an assault on the head of state but also reflects deep-seated political tensions within France during that era. This powerful visual narrative encapsulates both the volatility and passion surrounding these events. Preserved within Musee de La Presse in Paris, France, this evocative artwork serves as a testament to our collective past. Its inclusion in Le Petit Journal underscores its importance as breaking news at that time. Through this photo print, we are transported back to a tumultuous period where politics collided with public sentiment—a reminder that even leaders can face aggression when navigating complex societal issues.
