EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Bienville, the visionary founder of New Orleans. Taken from The Great South by Edward King and published around 1874, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville. Bienville's profound impact on French Louisiana is evident in this striking portrait. His noble stature is emphasized as he stands tall, donning an intricately detailed suit of armor that symbolizes his unwavering determination and strength. With a commanding presence, his bust exudes a sense of authority and leadership. The artist skillfully highlights every intricate detail, from the delicate curls of Bienville's wig to the lines etched onto his face that speak volumes about his wisdom and experience. This monochrome masterpiece truly brings out the depth and character within its subject. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrayal, it becomes clear why Bienville was revered as both a colonizer and governor. His signature serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy - one that shaped not only New Orleans but also American history itself. Through this artful representation, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance behind Bienville's vision for a thriving city nestled along the banks of Mississippi River.
