EDITORS COMMENTS
At the Spanish frontier, a historic duel unfolds between two prominent figures of French politics - Paul Deroulede and Jean Jaures. This print captures the intensity and drama of their clash, taken from an illustration in Le Petit Journal: Supplement illustre on 18th December 1904. Deroulede, known as a right-wing founder and president of Ligue des Patriotes (League of Patriots), stands tall with determination. On the other side is Jaures, a socialist leader in the Chamber of Deputies. The duel was sparked by an ironic article written by Jaures about Joan of Arc in his newspaper L'Humanite. The scene is set at Hendaye, near the Pyrenees mountains that separate France and Spain. Smoke fills the air as pistols are raised to confront each other. Both men wear hats and frock coats, exuding an aura of power and authority. Surrounded by their seconds - individuals who assist during duels - tension mounts as two shots are exchanged between them. A group gathers nearby, anxiously witnessing this political scandal turned physical confrontation. In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only a battle between these two political giants but also a clash between ideologies. It serves as a reminder that conflicts can arise even among those who share common goals for their country. This remarkable print offers us insight into history's pivotal moments when words failed to resolve differences and actions took precedence.
