Commentary


La médaille est conservée dans une boîte cartonnée bleue, timbrée en lettres dorées : COMPAGNIE GENERALE / TRANSTLANTIQUE / 1855-1955.
La Compagnie générale transatlantique (CGT, souvent surnommée Transat, ou French Line par la clientèle anglophone) est une compagnie maritime française. Fondée en 1855 par les frères Émile et Isaac Péreire sous le nom de Compagnie générale maritime, elle est chargée par l'État d'assurer le transport du courrier vers l'Amérique du Nord et prend son nom définitif en 1861.
Les paquebots de la Compagnie générale transatlantique ont souvent été des ouvrages d'art symboliques de leur époque, destinés à représenter l'image de la France à l'étranger. De même, la qualité de leur service, en particulier celle des repas et des vins, a fidélisé une clientèle fortunée, notamment de riches Américains au temps de la Prohibition. Des années après sa disparition, son patrimoine continue à séduire les collectionneurs et à être mis en valeur au travers d'expositions et d'associations comme French Lines, qui préserve les archives et objets de l'entreprise..
The medal is kept in a blue cardboard box, stamped in gold letters: COMPAGNIE GENERALE / TRANSTLANTIQUE / 1855-1955. The Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT, often nicknamed Transat, or French Line by English-speaking customers) is a French shipping company. Founded in 1855 by the brothers Émile and Isaac Péreire under the name Compagnie Générale Maritime, it was commissioned by the State to transport mail to North America and took its definitive name in 1861. The liners of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique were often symbolic works of art of their time, intended to represent the image of France abroad. Similarly, the quality of their service, particularly that of the meals and wines, earned the loyalty of a wealthy clientele, notably wealthy Americans during the Prohibition era. Years after its disappearance, its heritage continues to attract collectors and to be showcased through exhibitions and associations such as French Lines, which preserves the company's archives and objects.

Historical background


IV REPUBLIC

(16/01/1947-8/01/1959)

Characterized by a parliamentary regime coupled with great ministerial instability, the Fourth Republic has the particularity of never having been officially proclaimed. Indeed, De Gaulle, when he arrived in Paris on August 25, 1944, refused to do so on the pretext that the Republic had never ceased to exist. Considering that the French State of Marshal Pétain was only a simple state of affairs, he considers that the Republic survived in free France and his birth certificate must then be June 18, 1940. However, his departure, the January 20, 1946, and the referendum of October 13, 1946 approving a new Constitution, mark the official beginning of this republic. It knows two presidents: Vincent Auriol (16/01/1947 - 23/12/1953) and René Coty (23/12/1953 - 8/1/1959). The open crisis caused by the revolt of the army of Algeria leads, in 1958, to its fall which is confirmed by the adoption of a new constitution on September 28, 1958. Nevertheless, it does not cease definitively until the 8 January 1959 when General de Gaulle was installed as President of the Fifth Republic.
