EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Montfaucon, a renowned figure from the 18th century. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the subject's already enigmatic persona. Montfaucon, also known as Bernard de Montfaucon, was not only a French Benedictine monk but also a distinguished scholar in palaeography. His contributions to the field of archaeology have solidified his position as one of its founding fathers. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin respectively. This historical piece offers us a glimpse into Montfaucon's life during the 18th century. Montfaucon's profile is captured with great detail and precision through an engraving technique that highlights his distinctive features and clothing style typical for that era. Dressed in traditional monastic attire or habit associated with Benedictine monks, he exudes an aura of wisdom and devotion. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait print today, it serves as a reminder of Montfaucon's significant contributions to literature and language studies alongside his profound impact on religious history. It stands as both an artistic representation capturing the essence of this influential man while preserving his legacy for generations to come.
