Francois-Antoine Boissy d'Anglas: A Prominent Figure in French Politics and Literature during the Revolution and Empire This handcoloured lithograph depicts Francois-Antoine Boissy d'Anglas (1756-1828), a prominent French figure during the Revolution and the Empire. Boissy d'Anglas served many roles in the political landscape of France during this tumultuous period, including President of the Convention, writer, lawyer, and politician. The image captures Boissy d'Anglas in the attire of a count, reflecting his noble status. The intricate details of his clothing, including the rich fabric, elaborate patterns, and decorative elements, are beautifully rendered in the handcoloured lithograph. The President wears a long, double-breasted coat with gold buttons, a white cravat, and a tricorn hat adorned with a feather. Boissy d'Anglas played a significant role in the French Revolution, particularly during the Reign of Terror. He was a member of the Committee of Public Safety and played a crucial part in the fall of Robespierre. After the fall of Robespierre, Boissy d'Anglas became the President of the Convention, a position he held from July 28, 1794, to November 26, 1795. Following the end of the Revolution, Boissy d'Anglas continued to serve in various political roles during the Empire, including Minister of the Interior under Napoleon Bonaparte. He was also a prolific writer, publishing numerous works on politics and history. This handcoloured lithograph, produced by Le Bibliophile Jacob aka Paul Lacroix for the series 'Costumes Historiques de la France,' is a testament to the enduring legacy of Francois-Antoine Boissy d'Anglas in French history. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colours bring the image to life, offering a glimpse into the fashion and politics of the time.
