EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Raynal, a prominent French writer and man of letters during the Age of Enlightenment. The portrait, created in 1830 by an unknown artist, showcases Raynal's direct gaze as he looks directly at the camera with a sense of confidence and intellect. Guillaume Thomas Raynall (1713-1796) was initially educated as a Jesuit and even received priests orders. However, due to his dismissal from the order, he embarked on a new path as a writer and journalist. His contributions to literature earned him recognition, leading to his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1754. The engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. It offers us insight into Raynal's profile - his headscarf or headdress symbolizing his Catholic background while also hinting at his intellectual pursuits. Raynal's work reflected the spirit of enlightenment that swept through France during this period. He delved into various topics such as history, religion, and philosophy while advocating for social justice reforms. This portrait not only immortalizes Raynal but also serves as a reminder of the significant role played by intellectuals like him during one of history's most transformative eras.
