Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin: A Prominent Figure in 19th Century French Politics, Captured in a Napoleonic Manner Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin (1807-1874) was a French statesman and a prominent figure in the political landscape of 19th century France. Known for his fiery oratory skills and radical political views, Ledru-Rollin was a key figure in the French Revolution of 1848 and the Second French Republic. This photograph print, taken between the years 1807 and 1874, depicts Ledru-Rollin in a Napoleonic manner, with one hand casually tucked into his coat. The Napoleonic pose, popular during the 19th century, was a way to evoke the grandeur and power associated with Napoleon Bonaparte, the legendary military and political leader of France. Ledru-Rollin's political career began in the 1830s, when he was a member of the French National Assembly. He was a vocal advocate for the rights of the working class and was a leading figure in the February Revolution of 1848, which overthrew King Louis-Philippe I. After the revolution, Ledru-Rollin served as the President of the National Assembly and was a key architect of the new French Constitution. Despite his political achievements, Ledru-Rollin's career was not without controversy. He was arrested several times for his radical views and was exiled from France during the Second Empire. However, he continued to be a influential figure in French politics, and his legacy as a champion of the working class and a defender of democratic values endures to this day. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of 19th century France. The Napoleonic pose adds an air of power and authority to the image, making it a fascinating and intriguing representation of a complex and influential historical figure.
