Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a 1893 printing of the Petit Journal Illustré (supplement of the Petit Journal) published on August, 19. It is an attack on Georges Clemenceau, candidate to the 1893 legislative elections in the Var. He is dancing with bags of Sterling Pounds, according to popular attacks at the time against him, treating him as an "agent of the United Kingdom" and claiming he was involved in various scandals (Panama, etc.). According to Michel Winock's 2007 biography (p.202), the guy whispering to him with a "semitic nose" would be Cornelius Herz, but it's rather a stereotyped (frequent in this illustrated newspaper) representation of the English people. This drawing goes hand in hand with an article by Emile Judet, in the Petit Journal (August 19, 1893), called "La litanie de Clemenceau", a vicious attack on the later.
Français : Il s'agit d'une gravure imprimée du Petit journal illustré (n°143, 19 août 1893), supplément dominical du Petit journal, qui représente Georges Clemenceau, candidat aux législatives dans le Var en août 1893, en train de jongler avec des sacs de livre sterling devant des ballerines. Selon la biographie de 2007 de Michel Winock (p.202), le souffleur au premier plan, avec un « nez sémitique », représenterait Cornelius Herz, impliqué dans le scandale de Panama. En réalité, il s'agit plutôt d'une représentation stéréotypée des Anglais, fréquente dans cet hebdomadaire illustré. Ce dessin va de pair avec l'article intitulé « La litanie de Clemenceau », publié par Émile Judet dans le Petit Journal (19 août 1893), qui consiste en une attaque féroce et n'hésitant pas à verser dans la diffamation contre le candidat du Var.
