EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Charles Grad, a prominent German politician, writer, and naturalist. The portrait, created by Henri Thiriat, was intended to illustrate Grad's story "A Through Alsace and Lorraine" in 1887. As a German deputer featured in the renowned publication "Tour du Monde" directed by Edouard Charton, Grad's influence extended far beyond his homeland. In this image, we see a distinguished gentleman with an air of intellect and determination. His piercing gaze reflects his deep understanding of the political landscape during that era. With every stroke of Thiriat's engraving tool, Grad's character is brought to life - a man who dedicated himself to both literature and politics. The composition exudes elegance as it showcases Grad's refined features against a backdrop that hints at the beauty of Alsace and Lorraine. This print serves as a testament to not only Grad's achievements but also his contribution to literature through his written works. As we admire this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of the profound impact individuals like Charles Grad had on shaping history. Their dedication to their craft continues to inspire generations today.
