EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the Liszt Collection showcases the remarkable figure of Antoinette Cecile Hortense Lescot Haudebourt, known as The Public Writer. Born in France in 1784 and passing away in 1845, Haudebourt left an indelible mark on society with her unique profession. The image captures Haudebourt's dignified presence, exuding confidence and intelligence. Dressed elegantly in period attire, she sits at a desk with quill pen in hand, ready to fulfill her role as a public writer. Her poised demeanor suggests both authority and approachability. As a public writer, Haudebourt played a crucial role in her community by providing literacy services to those who were unable to read or write themselves. She would assist individuals with drafting letters, filling out forms, or even transcribing legal documents. In an era when education was not accessible to all, Haudebourt's skills were invaluable. This lithograph serves as a testament to the importance of literacy and communication during that time period. It also pays homage to the often-overlooked contributions made by women like Haudebourt within male-dominated professions. Displayed prominently on any wall or shelf space, this print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a reminder of the power of knowledge and empathy. It invites viewers to reflect upon our shared history while celebrating the achievements of trailblazers such as Antoinette Cecile Hortense Lescot Ha
