EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts Alexandre de Lameth (1760-1829), a prominent French soldier and politician of the 18th and 19th centuries. Born in Paris, Lameth rose to prominence during the French Revolution, serving as a general in the Army of the Rhine and later becoming a member of the Directory, the ruling body of the French Republic. The image captures Lameth in the prime of his life, with an air of authority and intelligence. He is depicted wearing the uniform of a French general, complete with a wig and decorative sash, signifying his high rank. The intricate details of the engraving, including the folds of his uniform and the texture of his wig, bring the portrait to life, transporting us back to the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. Lameth's political career was marked by his support for the radical Jacobin faction, which advocated for the most extreme measures to maintain the Revolution. However, he later became disillusioned with the violence and instability of the Revolution and allied himself with the more moderate forces. This engraving is taken from the "History of France," published in 1883, which provides a rich historical context for understanding the life and times of Alexandre de Lameth. The use of color adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of European historical portraits.
