"The Duel between Paul Déroulède and Georges Clemenceau" is an 1892 lithograph by French artist Henri Meyer, depicting a significant event in French political history. The artwork illustrates the confrontation between two prominent figures of the time: Paul Déroulède, a nationalist politician and poet, and Georges Clemenceau, a statesman who would later become Prime Minister of France. The duel took place on November 27, 1892, following a bitter dispute between the two men, which was emblematic of the intense political rivalries of the French Third Republic.

Henri Meyer, known for his political illustrations, captured this moment in a style that conveys the tension and drama of the event. The lithograph was published in "Le Petit Journal," a popular French newspaper of the era, which often included supplements featuring colorful illustrations of current events. Meyer's work not only provides a visual account of the duel but also serves as a cultural artifact reflecting the political climate and societal attitudes towards dueling as a means of resolving disputes among the elite.

The duel itself was a result of Déroulède's challenge to Clemenceau after the latter delivered a speech in the Chamber of Deputies that Déroulède found offensive. Although both men emerged unscathed, the duel was symbolic of the broader conflicts within French society and the political landscape at the end of the 19th century. The artwork by Meyer thus not only captures a specific historical incident but also invites reflection on the role of honor, violence, and personal rivalry in the politics of the period.
