EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of the commentary by de la Beaumelle of La Henriade, a renowned work by Voltaire. The revised and updated edition was published in Berlin and Paris in 1775, featuring an exquisite etching created by Augustin de Saint-Aubin (1736-1807). At the center of this artistic masterpiece stands Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire himself, a prominent French philosopher known for his wit and intellect. His profile is depicted with great detail, capturing his essence as a writer and poet. To the right of Voltaire stands Elie Freron (1718-76), another notable man of letters who contributed to the revision of this influential piece. The oval-shaped portrait is surrounded by various elements that symbolize enlightenment and literature. A bust, medallion, book, jabot, putti cherubs, and female writers are intricately engraved around them. These details not only add aesthetic beauty but also represent the significance of literature in society. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into history's literary giants during an era when their ideas shaped intellectual discourse. It serves as a reminder of their enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations today.
