EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, published in The Artistic Illustration in 1886, captures a tender moment in the life of the renowned French diplomat and entrepreneur, Ferdinand de Lesseps (1805-1894). Depicted here with his family, Lesseps is seen in the center, seated between his wife, Marie, and their children. The couple's eldest son, also named Ferdinand, sits on his father's left, while their daughter and two younger sons, clad in Victorian attire, gather around them. Born in Strasbourg, France, in 1805, Lesseps rose to prominence as a diplomat and entrepreneur, most notably for his role in the construction of the Suez Canal. His vision of connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas through a canal route was a groundbreaking achievement in the 19th century, revolutionizing global trade and commerce. Despite his professional successes, Lesseps is fondly remembered for his role as a devoted family man. In this engraving, the warmth and love shared among the family members are palpable, making for a captivating and historical portrait. The star-studded night sky in the background adds an ethereal touch to the image, further emphasizing the sense of wonder and admiration that surrounded Lesseps during his time. The engraving, colored and meticulously detailed, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the time and offers a glimpse into the lives of the European elite during the late 19th century. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the balance between personal life and professional accomplishments that defined the extraordinary figure of Ferdinand de Lesseps.
