EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Benjamin Raspail (1823-1899), a French painter, engraver, politician, and monoped, who left an indelible mark on French history. Born to Major Franois-Vincent Raspail (1794-1878), Benjamin's political career began when he became a member of the Conseil for Seine for the republican left. In a pivotal moment on 21 May 1880, Raspail proposed the law that made 14 July a French national holiday in commemoration of the storming of the Bastille. This historical event marked the beginning of the French Revolution and is a significant milestone in the country's history. Raspail's political activism was not his only claim to fame. He was also a talented painter and engraver, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy. His works often reflected his political beliefs and were deeply rooted in the social and historical context of his time. Despite his accomplishments, Raspail's life was not without challenges. He was a monoped, having lost a leg in his youth, but this did not deter him from pursuing his passions and making a meaningful impact on French society. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the essence of a man who defied the odds and left a lasting legacy in both the artistic and political realms of French culture. Benjamin Raspail's contributions to French history continue to be celebrated on 14 July, a national holiday that commemorates the storming of the Bastille, a moment that changed the course of French history forever.
