Framed Print of The late Emile de Girardin, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The late Emile de Girardin, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by G. Moretti, of Paris. This well-known French journalist and politician, who died last week in Paris, was born in Switzerland, in 1806. He was the illegitimate son of General de Girardin, his mother being a Madame Dupuy, and he at first bore the name of Lamothe, but afterwards, coming to Paris, assumed his father's name. In 1828 he obtained an appointment as Inspector of Fine Arts, but some years afterwards established a Democratic journal, "La Presse", which he conducted till 1866, for some time with great success. His fatal duel with Armand Carrel, of the "National", was the most tragic event of his life; Armand Carrel was killed on the spot. Emile de Girardin became a member of the Chamber of Deputies, in the time of King Louis Philippe; he bore a conspicuous part in the Revolution of February, 1848, and under the Empire of Napoleon III. but was generally on the Opposition side. He married Delphine Gay, a lady of some literary talent and celebrity, but after her death took for his second wife the daughter (by a morganatic marriage) of a German Grand Duke. He was to have been made a Senator, but for the sudden overthrow of the Empire in 1870'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
