EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Casimir Delavigne, a prolific and influential French writer whose literary contributions spanned various historical subjects, from the Sicilian Vespers to the reign of Louis XI. Born in 1793, Delavigne emerged as a prominent voice in French literature during the Romantic era. He is best known for his poem "La Discovery," which celebrated the discovery of the vaccine against smallpox by Edward Jenner in 1796. Delavigne's literary prowess extended beyond the realm of science, as he penned works on a diverse range of historical topics. His poems and plays delved into the rich tapestry of French history, shedding light on pivotal moments such as the Sicilian Vespers, a rebellion against French rule in Sicily in 1282, and the reign of Louis XI, a pivotal monarch in the late Middle Ages. Delavigne's works were not only celebrated for their historical accuracy and depth, but also for their poetic beauty and emotional resonance. His ability to capture the essence of historical events and bring them to life through his words made him a beloved figure in French literature. This photographic print, taken from a rare and original source, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable writer. Delavigne's intense gaze and expressive features convey a sense of intellectual curiosity and passion for the past.
