1797 1877 Adolphe Figaro Historian Spectacles Thiers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished face of Louis-Adolphe Thiers, a prominent French statesman and historian, as he gazes intently at the pages of his Figaro Album. Taken in the late 19th century, around 1877, the image presents Thiers in the prime of his life, with a white beard framing his stern yet intelligent features. His piercing eyes are accentuated by the thick-rimmed spectacles perched on his nose, adding to his scholarly appearance. Born in 1797, Thiers played a significant role in French history during the 19th century. He served as the President of the French Republic twice, in 1830 and 1871, and also held various other high-ranking positions such as Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Thiers was also a prolific historian, and his works on the French Revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte are still studied today. The Figaro Album, which Thiers is seen holding in the photograph, was a popular French publication at the time. It was a weekly journal that covered current events and politics, and was known for its liberal and critical stance. Thiers' association with the Figaro is a testament to his involvement in the political and intellectual circles of his time. This square-format photograph, with its rich historical significance and intriguing subject matter, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a man who shaped the course of French history. The image, preserved in the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of historical figures and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
