EDITORS COMMENTS
The intense and dramatic duel between French Prime Minister Charles Thomas Floquet and General Georges Ernest Boulanger on July 13, 1888, captured in this historic engraving from "Le duel a travers les ages," is a powerful reminder of the political tensions that gripped France during the late 19th century. The image depicts the moment when Floquet, in a desperate bid for justice or revenge, stabbed Boulanger in the neck during their confrontation on the grounds of Count Arthur Dillon.
Despite being heavily wounded, Boulanger miraculously survived this brutal encounter, adding another layer of intrigue to an already sensational event. The clash between these two prominent figures symbolizes not only personal vendettas but also larger political struggles that were playing out in Europe at the time.
This print serves as a window into a bygone era when duels were still considered acceptable means of settling disputes among gentlemen. It captures the raw emotion and tension of that fateful day, offering viewers a glimpse into the complex web of power dynamics and rivalries that defined French society during this tumultuous period.
As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the human drama inherent in politics and how personal conflicts can have far-reaching consequences for nations and individuals alike.
