EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heroic moment in history. The image depicts Theophile Malo Corret de La Tour d Auvergne, a brave Frenchman from the 18th century, fearlessly plunging into the sea to save two men at Saint Jean de Luz. Illustrated by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray and Breville) for the book "The Tour d Auvergne, First Grenadier of France" in 1902, this powerful engraving showcases the courage and selflessness of one man. In this scene frozen in time, we witness the immense bravery of La Tour d Auvergne as he defies treacherous waves to rescue those in need. His determination is palpable as he battles against nature's forces to ensure their safety. This illustration beautifully captures his unwavering commitment to saving lives. The monochromatic tones add depth and intensity to the image, emphasizing both the danger faced by these individuals and their extraordinary act of heroism. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for compassion and sacrifice. This rare print is part of a private collection belonging to Job, pseudonym for Jacques Onfray de Breville (1858-1931), an accomplished artist known for his illustrations. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and perilous circumstances, there will always be individuals who rise above adversity with unparalleled valor.
