EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Voltaire, a prominent figure in French Enlightenment. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this image showcases Francois-Marie Arouet (1694-1778), famously known as Voltaire. A writer, historian, and philosopher, Voltaire was celebrated for his sharp wit and unwavering support for freedom of speech, religion, and the separation of church and state. Decorated by George I of Great Britain, this portrait exudes a sense of intellectual prowess and charisma that defined Voltaire's persona. The engraving beautifully depicts him with an air of confidence and wisdom. The photograph is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard - a book that delves into the life journey of influential individuals like Voltaire. Published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming; it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by this remarkable thinker. Voltaire's contributions to literature are immeasurable; his satirical polemics challenged societal norms while advocating for progressive ideas ahead of his time. This image allows us to glimpse into the world inhabited by one of history's greatest intellectuals—a man who fearlessly questioned authority while championing individual freedoms. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded not only of Voltaire's significant impact on society but also how art can immortalize great minds throughout history.
