Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin (1807-1874): A Prominent Figure in 19th Century French Politics This engraving, published in the Journal Universel in 1871, showcases Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin, a pivotal figure in French politics during the 19th century. Born in 1807, Ledru-Rollin rose to prominence as a radical Republican and a leading advocate for the rights of the working class. The image, skillfully engraved by J. Rober and colored, captures the intensity and charisma of this influential figure. Ledru-Rollin's piercing gaze and determined expression convey his unwavering commitment to his political beliefs. The portrait also highlights his distinctive attire, which reflects the fashionable style of the time. Ledru-Rollin's political career began in the 1830s, and he quickly gained a reputation as a fiery orator and a champion of the people. He was a key figure in the Revolution of 1848, which led to the establishment of the Second French Republic. However, his radical views often put him at odds with more conservative elements within the government, and he was exiled several times throughout his career. Despite the challenges he faced, Ledru-Rollin remained a dedicated and influential figure in French politics until his death in 1874. His legacy continues to be celebrated as a champion of the working class and a defender of democratic principles. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of his enduring impact on French history.
