EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the resolute figure of Jean Baptiste Kleber, a renowned French general who left an indelible mark on history. Born in 1753, Kleber's military prowess and unwavering dedication to his country earned him great recognition during the tumultuous times of the late 18th century. Enlisting in the French Revolutionary army in 1792, Kleber quickly rose through the ranks due to his strategic brilliance and leadership skills. In this portrait from 1837, we see him donning a distinguished uniform that reflects both his status as a high-ranking officer and the fashion trends of that era. Notably, Kleber's legacy extends beyond France's borders. Tasked with overseeing Napoleon's interests in Egypt after being left in command by the future emperor himself, he faced numerous challenges during his time there. Tragically, it was within these foreign lands that he met his untimely demise at the hands of an Egyptian fanatic in Cairo. The artist behind this engraving masterfully captures not only Kleber's physical appearance but also hints at the strength and determination that defined him as a military leader. As we gaze upon this monochrome image from centuries past, we are reminded of those brave souls who shaped our world through their selfless service and sacrifice on behalf of their countries.
