Description:
A political masterpiece: the image shows Girardin and Ollivier embracing each other. From now on, the paper "La Liberté" will belong to Girardin. It becomes the unofficial voice for Ollivier's party. Emile de Girardin (1806-1881) was the natural son of the Duke Alexandre de Girardin, named Emile DELAMOTTE. From 1827 on, he called himself Girardin. He was a journalist, businessman, writer and poet (“Le Voleur“, “La Mode“, “La Presse“, “La Liberté“, “Le Moniteur Universel“, “Le Petit Journal“, “La France“). He was also a businessman, politician and Deputy from 1834-1848. He worked on several occasions with A. Dumas. Emile Ollivier (1825-1913) was a lawyer and politician as well as a Deputy between 1848 and 1869. He also worked for „La Presse“ and „La Liberté“. In politics, he was a liberal monarchist and was appointed Minister of Justice in 1870.
