EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures John Law, a prominent figure in the 18th century. Taken around 1700-1710, this image showcases Law's distinguished appearance with his open collar and elegant attire. The unknown creator of this photograph perfectly portrays Law's serious demeanor as he gazes away from the camera. John Law was not only a Scottish economist but also a visionary who believed that money served as a means of exchange rather than constituting wealth itself. His expertise in finance led to his appointment as the Controller General of Finances of France under the Duke of Orleans during the regency period for King Louis XV. The significance of this portrait is further emphasized by its inclusion in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. IV - Modern History" by Edmund Ollier, published in 1890. This engraving provides us with an insight into Law's role within French society during that time. With its oval-shaped frame and monochrome aesthetic, this print exudes both historical charm and artistic elegance. It serves as a reminder of John Law's lasting impact on economics and his influential position within French politics.
