Framed Print of The Assault on M. Gambetta by M. de Sainte-Croix at the Sainte Lazare Station, Paris, 1874. Creator: Unknown

The Assault on M. Gambetta by M. de Sainte-Croix at the Sainte Lazare Station, Paris, 1874. At the Paris Chamber of Correctional Police, a Bonapartist military man named Louis Henri Renouard, and styling himself the Comte de St. Croix, was charged with an assault upon the Republican Dictator of 1870. In our last week's Paris letter, ...a violent speech of M. Gambetta's was mentioned, denouncing the Bonapartists as misérables or wretches, which seems to have been the provocation for this assault. M. Gambetta returned from Versailles to Paris by railway, and, leaving the train at the St. Lazare station, went towards the grand staircase which leads out to the Place St. Lazare. He was accompanied by M. Ordinaire, another member of the Assembly. The defendant sprang forward out of the surrounding crowd, and struck M. Gambetta in the face with his closed fist. He had a stick, which he brandished so that it fell upon M. Ordinaire, who had interposed to shield his friend Gambetta. When brought before the magistrates, he pleaded that his intention was only to provoke M. Gambetta to fight a duel, and he declared that he used his open hand, not his fist. He was sentenced to six months imprisonment and a fine of 200f.'. From Illustrated London News, 1874. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
