EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Pierre Magnin, the distinguished Governor of the Banque de France in the 19th century. The French photographer skillfully portrays Magnin's authoritative presence as he sits at his office desk, surrounded by symbols of power and finance. Magnin, born in 1824 and passing away in 1910, was a prominent figure in French politics and banking during his time. As Governor of the Banque de France, he played a crucial role in shaping the country's economy. This photograph was originally published as an illustration in Le Figaro Illustre magazine back in April 1897. The image showcases Magnin's strong personality through his confident posture and focused gaze. His position as governor is emphasized by the central bank logo displayed on his desk, reminding viewers of his influential role within the financial sector. This historical snapshot not only provides insight into Magnin's life but also offers a glimpse into French culture during this era. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Magnin shaped economic policies that impacted both their nation and its overseas territories. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable piece now finds itself available to be admired once again thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts to make fine art accessible to all who appreciate it.
