Image title

le duel victorieux de Surcouf avec douze officiers Prussiens. After a drawing by Frederic Regamey. Robert Surcouf (12 December 1773 - 8 July 1827) was a famous French privateer and slave trader who operated in the Indian Ocean between 1789 and 1801, and again from 1807 to 1808. The illustration depicts a possibly fabricated tale that around 1816 or 1817, Surcouf challenged twelve Prussian officers to a duel and defeated all of them except for the last, which he let go "to tell in his country how a former soldier of Napoleon fights".
