Joseph CAILLAUX (1863–1944).

He realizes that Clemenceau has misunderstood him. “I repeat that, neither at the Hôtel Minerva nor anywhere else, have I participated in defeatist conspiracies, and I challenge you to prove otherwise. I repeat that the Italian government, having received the rumors originating from the ‘Métivier’ in Rome, treated this gossip as it deserved to be treated. I repeat that the French government did not protect me in any way, and, so that no one can play on words, I specify that to no degree, in no form, in no way, did it intervene on my behalf… quite the contrary”… Expert: Mr. Thierry BODIN, Les Autographes - 01 45 48 25 31 - lesautographes@wanadoo.fr Dimensions with frame: 36 x 28 cm Dimensions without frame: 21 x 13.5 and 11.2 x 14.8 cm Items may be picked up on Thursday, December 3, 2026, by appointment, in Paris’s 15th arrondissement (Metro: Pasteur).
