EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait depicts Jean-Louis Carra, born in Pont-de-Veyle on March 11, 1742, during his tenure as a deputy for the Department of Saône et Loire in the National Convention of 1792. Carra, a native of the Franche-Comté region in eastern France, was an intriguing figure in French history. Prior to his political career, Carra had been a successful aeronaut, or hot air balloonist, captivating audiences with his daring flights. The date of this portrait is estimated between 1792 and 1850, reflecting Carra's later years. His piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of determination and conviction, emblematic of the tumultuous times in which he lived. Carra's service in the National Convention came during a pivotal moment in French history, as the country transitioned from monarchy to republic. This portrait is part of the esteemed Tissandier Collection, which showcases a wealth of historical and artistic treasures. The collection, which is housed in a private archive, has been meticulously curated and preserves a diverse range of materials, including photographs, prints, and manuscripts. Carra's story is a fascinating blend of science, adventure, and politics, offering a glimpse into the complexities of the French Revolution. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of his significant contributions to both the world of aeronautics and the political landscape of 18th-century France.
