1810 1854 1868 Alexandre Born Photographed Polish Walewski
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Alexandre Walewski, a Polish-born statesman who made a significant impact on French politics during the mid-19th century. Born in 1810 in the Grand Duchy of Poznan, then part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Walewski rose to prominence in France after being adopted by Napoleon Bonaparte and raised as his godson. He began his political career in the French government in 1840, serving as Minister of Public Instruction and Minister of the Interior. The image, taken in 1854, shows Walewski in the prime of his life, with a serious yet thoughtful expression. His formal attire and well-groomed appearance reflect the elegance and sophistication of the time. Walewski's political career continued to flourish, and he served as French Ambassador to the United States from 1856 to 1858. He was also a member of the French Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. Despite his Polish heritage, Walewski remained loyal to France throughout his life and played a crucial role in shaping French policy during a period of great political upheaval. His legacy as a statesman and diplomat endures, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his significant contributions to French history. This photograph, taken in 1854, is a testament to the enduring power of the photographic medium to capture the essence of a historical figure. The image, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rights-managed print that offers a unique glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on French politics and diplomacy.
