EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished presence of Francois Certain Canrobert, a renowned French general in 1869. With his commanding gaze and confident stance, General Canrobert exudes an air of authority and experience. Having served in Africa prior to this portrait, Canrobert was appointed as aide-de-camp to President Louis-Napoleon. He played a significant role in the coup d'état that led to the establishment of the Second Empire. The scars of battle are evident on his face, testament to his bravery at the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War. Recognized for his military prowess, Canrobert was honored with the title Marshal of France. He displayed exceptional leadership skills during conflicts such as Magenta and Solferino in the Austro-Sardinian War. However, fate took a different turn when he commanded the VI Corps during the Franco-Prussian War and ultimately surrendered at Metz. The photograph showcases not only General Canrobert's military uniform adorned with epaulettes but also highlights his distinctive braid-trimmed hat and well-groomed mustache – symbols of both rank and style. This historic image from Album de Photographies dans L'Intimité de Personnages Illustres offers us a glimpse into an era where men like François Certain Canrobert shaped nations through their strategic brilliance on battlefields across Europe.
