EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Pierre Antoine Berryer, a legendary French lawyer and a towering figure in the legal world of the 19th century. Born in 1790, Berryer's legal career spanned over seven decades, making him one of the most influential figures in French legal history. He rose to prominence during the Restoration and July Monarchy periods, representing some of the most notable figures of the time in high-profile cases. Berryer's exceptional oratory skills, deep legal knowledge, and unwavering commitment to justice earned him the moniker "le plus grand avocat de notre temps" or "the greatest lawyer of our time." His reputation was such that he was often called upon to defend the most complex and politically charged cases, earning him both admiration and controversy. This photograph of Berryer was taken in 1853, when he was in his sixties. The image captures the intensity and intelligence in his eyes, as well as the distinguished air of a man who had dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of a man who left an indelible mark on French legal history. Berryer's career was marked by numerous milestones, including his defense of the Duc de Bordeaux in 1820, his role in the trial of the Dreyfus Affair in 1894 (although he was not present at the trial itself), and his appointment as a Senator in 1867. His impact on French law and legal thought continues to be felt today, making him a figure of great historical significance. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the life of a man who shaped the course of French legal history. It serves as a reminder of the power of the legal profession to effect change and inspire generations to come.
