EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of douard Ren Lefebvre de Laboulaye, a prominent French deputy and senator during the late 19th century. Taken between 1865 and 1875, this carte de visite by renowned photographer Charles Reutlinger captures Laboulaye in all his regal glory. Laboulaye's striking presence is accentuated by his impeccably styled bowtie and tie, which add an air of sophistication to his ensemble. The attention to detail in both his fashion choices and grooming is evident, emphasizing the importance he placed on projecting an image befitting a man of high social status. The focus of this portrait lies primarily on Laboulaye's face, allowing us to study every contour with great precision. His expression exudes confidence and intelligence, revealing the traits that made him such a respected political figure during his time. Laboulaye's nude body remains concealed beneath layers of clothing; however, it serves as a reminder that even influential individuals are ultimately human beings with physical forms. This subtle inclusion adds depth to the photograph while highlighting Laboulaye's vulnerability amidst the grandeur associated with politics. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from France's modern history, we are transported back to an era when politicians were revered for their intellect and dedication to public service. It serves as a testament not only to Laboulaye himself but also to the power held by members of parliament in shaping society through their political endeavors. Reutlinger's skillful composition immortalizes douard Ren Lefebvre de Laboulaye as more than just a politician – it reveals him as an emblematic figure who left an indelible mark on French society during one of its most transformative periods.
