EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Rochefoucault, a prominent French author and nobleman from the 17th century. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Francois de La Rochefoucauld, also known as Prince de Marcillac, led a fascinating life that is reflected in his direct gaze captured by the camera. Married at a young age to Andree de Vivonne under royal patronage, he found himself serving Queen Anne of Austria. However, his association with Cardinal Richelieu led to his imprisonment in the Bastille for eight days before being exiled to his father's estates. The portrait emanates strength and resilience as Rochefoucault dons armor symbolizing both his noble lineage and the battles he faced throughout his life. This engraving was featured in "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard published in 1830.

As we contemplate this remarkable portrait, we are reminded of how individuals like Rochefoucault shape our understanding of literature and history.
