Georges Clemenceau, French statesman, 1886
Georges Clemenceau, French statesman, 1886. Clemenceau (1841-1929) when he was a member of the French Chamber of Deputies. He served as Prime Minister of France from 1906-1909 and returned to the premiership in 1917 during the First World War and galvanised French morale undermined by the disastrous Nivelle Offensive and the army mutinies that followed it. After the war finished Clemenceau was one of the architects of the Treaty of Versailles. In the 1890s he was a prominent supporter of the disgraced Captain Albert Dreyfus and in 1898 published Emile Zolas famous open letter J accuse on the front page of L Aurore, the newspaper that he published.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Georges Clemenceau, the influential French statesman, in 1886 when he was a member of the French Chamber of Deputies. Clemenceau's political career spanned several significant periods in French history, and this image showcases him at a pivotal moment. Clemenceau served as Prime Minister of France twice, first from 1906 to 1909 and then again during World War I in 1917. During his second term as Prime Minister, he played a crucial role in boosting French morale after the disastrous Nivelle Offensive and subsequent army mutinies. He was instrumental in galvanizing the nation during these challenging times. After the war ended, Clemenceau became one of the key architects behind the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty aimed to reshape Europe following World War I and hold Germany accountable for its actions during the conflict. Beyond his political achievements, Clemenceau also had a reputation as a radical thinker and supporter of causes such as Captain Albert Dreyfus's innocence. In fact, he famously published Emile Zola's open letter "J'accuse" on the front page of L'Aurore newspaper that he owned. This portrait offers us an intimate glimpse into Georges Clemenceau's life and legacy—a man who left an indelible mark on French politics and played a vital role during one of history's most tumultuous periods: World War I.
