EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving showcases Charles Malo de Lameth (1757-1832), a prominent French soldier and politician of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Born into a noble family, Lameth's military career began at a young age, and he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a brigadier general in the French army. However, his political ambitions soon overshadowed his military accomplishments. Lameth was a prominent figure in the French Revolution, serving as a deputy to the National Assembly and playing a key role in the overthrow of the monarchy. He was a vocal advocate for the rights of the common people and was instrumental in drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. After the revolution, Lameth served in various political roles, including as a member of the Council of Five Hundred and the Senate. Despite his political accomplishments, Lameth's life was not without controversy. He was known for his fiery temper and was involved in several duels, including one with the future Napoleon Bonaparte. In later life, he became disillusioned with the political climate in France and retired from public life. This engraving, created in 1883 for the "History of France," captures Lameth in the prime of his career. He is depicted wearing the fashionable wig and formal attire of the time, with a serious expression on his face. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a striking representation of a pivotal figure in French history.
