EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Adolphe Thiers, a prominent French politician and historian of the 19th century. The photograph, taken in 1893, captures Thiers' dignified presence as he gazes away from the camera with an air of determination. Thiers played a significant role in shaping French politics during his time. Serving as Prime Minister on three separate occasions - in 1836,1840, and 1848 - he was known for his strong opposition to Emperor Napoleon III's reign from 1848 to 1871. A man of intellect and influence, Thiers was also recognized for his expertise on the French Revolution. However, it is impossible to discuss Thiers without acknowledging the darker aspects of his legacy. In particular, he was responsible for suppressing the revolutionary Paris Commune of 1871 which resulted in the loss of thousands of lives among Parisians. This striking portrait offers a glimpse into Thiers' character through its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail. Clad in formal attire with spectacles perched upon his nose, Thiers exudes an aura of authority and intellectual prowess. The image is part of "The Pictorial Treasury of Famous Men and Famous Deeds" published by Frederick Warne & Co. , London and New York in 1893. It serves as a testament to both Thiers' historical significance as well as the enduring power captured within this remarkable piece of artistry.
