Légende
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 Zola's famous open letter J'accuse on the front page of L'Aurore, the newspaper that he published.
