EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving captures a dramatic moment in history, showcasing the intense rivalry between two prominent journalists, Armand Carrel and Emile Girardin. On July 21, 1836, these two men faced off in a duel on the shore of the lake of Saint-Mande in Vincennes. The tension is palpable as they stand ready to settle their differences through combat.
In this depiction from "Le duel a travers les ages" by Letainturier-Fradin in 1892, we see the determination etched on their faces as they prepare to engage in a battle of honor and pride. The engraving beautifully captures the gravity of the situation, highlighting the human emotions at play - justice sought, revenge desired.
This historical event serves as a reminder of how conflicts were resolved in centuries past, where personal disputes often led to deadly consequences. The setting of Vincennes adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene, with its picturesque backdrop enhancing the intensity of the moment.
As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back to a time when duels were not just about physical combat but also about defending one's reputation and standing up for what one believed in. It is a powerful image that speaks volumes about courage, pride, and sacrifice.
