EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Henri, Marquis de Rochejaquelin: A French Statesman and Nephew of the Vendée General" Henri, Marquis de Rochejaquelin (1805-1867), born as Auguste Georges Du Vergier, was a prominent French statesman and the nephew of the famous Vendée General, Henri de Rochejaquelin. This evocative portrait captures the distinguished figure of the Marquis, showcasing his noble lineage and political acumen. The Marquis de Rochejaquelin was born into a prominent family with a rich history in the military and politics. His uncle, Henri de Rochejaquelin, led the counter-revolutionary forces during the Vendée uprising against the French Revolution. Despite the family's royalist connections, Henri, Marquis de Rochejaquelin, forged a career in the French political establishment. In the early 1830s, he began his political career as a deputy for the Vendée department in the Chamber of Deputies. He was known for his oratorical skills and his commitment to the conservative cause. In 1836, he was appointed as the Prefect of the Vendée, a position he held until 1839. During the Second Republic, the Marquis de Rochejaquelin continued to serve in various political roles, including as a member of the Legislative Assembly and the Senate. He was a vocal opponent of the Second Empire and played a key role in the events leading to the establishment of the Third Republic in 1870. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, captures the Marquis de Rochejaquelin in the prime of his political career. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting his unwavering commitment to his political beliefs and his family's legacy. The portrait serves as a testament to the Marquis's significant contributions to French politics and his enduring influence on the country's history.
