EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in French political history - the infamous duel with pistols between deputies Paul Deroulede and Georges Clemenceau. Dating back to 1893, this engraving from "Le petit journal" offers a glimpse into the intense rivalry and heated disputes that characterized French politics during the Third Republic. The image showcases the two statesmen standing face-to-face, ready to engage in combat. Despite being banned since 1626, duels were still seen as a means for settling personal and political conflicts at that time. However, it is worth noting that no harm came to either participant during this particular duel. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but their skillful depiction of the scene brings forth an atmosphere filled with tension and anticipation. The intricate details of their attire and facial expressions further emphasize the seriousness of their disagreement. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are reminded of the power of press in documenting significant events. This engraving was featured in "Le petit journal" highlighting its importance as a medium for publicizing such controversies within French society. Ultimately, this print serves as a testament to both the turbulent nature of politics during that era and the resilience of these two influential figures - Paul Deroulede (1846-1914) and Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929).
