EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures the enigmatic figure of the Chevalier d'Eon, dressed as a woman. The engraving, created by P. Jean Baptiste Bradel, offers a glimpse into the life of Charlotte Genevieve Louise Auguste Andree Timothee d'Eon de Beaumont (1728-1810), known simply as Eon. Eon was not your typical French diplomat; he was a political adventurer, spy, and even a celebrated swordsman. Sent by Louis XV to Russia as a secret agent and later serving as minister plenipotentiary in London, Eon's story is one shrouded in mystery. In this portrait bust, Eon exudes an air of elegance with his lace bonnet adorned with ribbons and delicate earrings featuring pearl drops.

His legacy continues to intrigue us today as we delve into the world of espionage and espionage spies through
