EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the distinguished face of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834), a French soldier and statesman of immense historical significance. Lafayette's impact on both France and America is evident in his title as "Hero of Two Worlds." Born in Chavaniac, France, in 1757, Lafayette's military career began at a young age. He joined the French army at 14 and quickly rose through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional courage and leadership. In 1777, he traveled to America to offer his support to the American Revolution, becoming a major-general in the Continental Army and a close confidant of George Washington. After the Revolution, Lafayette returned to France, where he continued his political career. He was a key figure in the French Revolution, advocating for constitutional reforms and the abolition of feudalism. In 1792, he was elected to the National Assembly and played a crucial role in drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Despite his revolutionary ideals, Lafayette's support for the monarchy eventually led to his exile from France during the Reign of Terror. He spent the next 14 years in Europe and America, before returning to France in 1809, where he was warmly welcomed as a national hero. This photograph print, inscribed with Lafayette's autograph, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable historical figure. The image captures the wisdom and experience of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the histories of both France and America. The autograph adds an intimate touch, making this a valuable piece of historical art for any collector or scholar of 18th and 19th century history.
