EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Theophile Malo Corret de La Tour d'Auvergne during his imprisonment by the English in February 1795. As he embarked on a sea trip near Camaret, he was taken captive but remained steadfast in his loyalty to France. Refusing to remove his cockard, a symbol of national pride and identity, de La Tour d'Auvergne demonstrated unwavering courage and determination. The illustration, skillfully created by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray and Breville), for the book "La Tour d'Auvergne, First Grenadier of France" published in 1902, beautifully brings this historical event to life. Job's attention to detail allows us to witness the intensity of the moment as de La Tour d'Auvergne stands defiantly with his cockard proudly displayed. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection that showcases Job's talent as an artist and storyteller. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like de La Tour d'Auvergne who fought bravely for their country's honor. Preserved through time and now brought back into our consciousness through this photograph from Fine Art Finder by Photo Josse, we are reminded not only of past struggles but also of the resilience and indomitable spirit that resides within humanity.
