EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Alfred Naquet, a prominent French chemist and politician from the 19th century. Taken around 1876 by Pierre Petit, this woodburytype image showcases Naquet's distinguished appearance with his well-groomed beard and intense gaze. Naquet was not only a man of science but also deeply involved in politics, making significant contributions to both fields during his lifetime. As a physician by profession, he utilized his scientific knowledge to advance medical research and improve healthcare practices in France. His political career further exemplified his dedication to public service as he fought for social justice issues such as women's rights, education reform, and workers' rights. Naquet's commitment to these causes earned him respect among fellow politicians and citizens alike. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this print serves as a testament to Naquet's multifaceted life journey. It portrays an individual who seamlessly merged the worlds of science and politics while leaving an indelible mark on society. Pierre Petit skillfully captured Naquet's presence through this woodburytype technique, emphasizing every detail that makes him stand out as an influential figure in French history. This photograph is not just a portrait; it is a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
