EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithography captures the essence of a remarkable individual from the early 19th century. The subject, a veteran of the armies, stands proudly in his military uniform, showcasing his dedication to serving his country. His weathered face tells tales of battles fought and sacrifices made. Despite being marked as a war invalid, this man's spirit remains unbroken. A pupil of the prestigious Lycee Napoleon, he embodies both intelligence and bravery. In one hand, he holds a book symbolizing knowledge gained through education and experience on the battlefield. The artist Henri Villain skillfully portrays every detail with precision - from the intricate folds of his uniform to the worn-out cane that supports him as he walks. This image is part of Count Horace de Viel Castel's collection dedicated to preserving French history during the Revolution and Empire era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era filled with turmoil and heroism. It serves as a reminder not only of our past but also pays homage to those who have sacrificed for their nation. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures this lithograph, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. This print is more than just an artwork; it is a testament to resilience and honor that will continue inspiring us today.
