EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Francois-Jean de Beauvoir, Marquis de Chastellux, a prominent figure in both French and American history. Published around 1880, this portrait showcases the distinguished features of a man who played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War. As a French soldier and major general, Chastellux accompanied General Rochambeau during the French expeditionary forces' aid to the American army. His friendship with influential figures such as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington further solidified his importance in shaping history. Beyond his military achievements, Chastellux was also known for his intellectual pursuits. In 1774, he penned an influential philosophical essay titled "De la Felicite Publique" (On Public Happiness), which garnered praise from renowned philosopher Voltaire. This work not only earned him recognition but also led to an offer of a seat in the esteemed Academie Francaise. In this lithograph, we see Chastellux exuding confidence and wisdom with every line etched on his face. The hat atop his head adds an air of aristocracy while symbolizing his position as an army officer. As an optimist and enlightenment thinker, he believed in progress and hope for humanity—a sentiment that resonates through time. This print serves as a testament to Chastellux's multifaceted nature—being not only a military leader but also a litterateur, writer, philosopher, and travel enthusiast. It is
