1841 Bowtie Clemenceau Frowning Georges Godard Wing 1929 Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense gaze and determined expression of Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929), a towering figure in French politics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image, taken in the last year of his life, shows Clemenceau in deep thought, his furrowed brow and piercing eyes conveying a sense of profound concentration and unwavering resolve. Born in Moulins, France, Clemenceau rose to prominence as a journalist and lawyer before entering politics. He served as Prime Minister of France on three separate occasions, leading the country through some of its most tumultuous periods, including World War I. Known for his sharp wit and combative style, Clemenceau was a formidable debater and a master of parliamentary maneuvering. In this photograph, Clemenceau is dressed in the formal attire of the time, with a wing collar shirt and a bowtie. The high collar and stiff cuffs of his shirt, along with his serious expression, give the image a sense of historical significance and grandeur. The photograph also features the signature of the renowned French caricaturist, Raoul Dufy, who added the inscription "Godard" in the lower right corner, perhaps as a nod to Clemenceau's longtime political rival, Georges Leygues, who was also known by the nickname "Godard." Despite the passage of time, this image of Clemenceau continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of French politics during a period of great upheaval and change.
