EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Voltaire, the renowned French author and epitome of the Enlightenment in the 18th century. In this intriguing image, Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire is depicted seated in a theatre box, adorned with laurels as a symbol of his exceptional achievements. This representation portrays an anecdotal event that showcases Voltaire's status as a unique individual transcending all ages. The photograph not only highlights Voltaire's occupation as an influential playwright and satirist but also provides insight into the vibrant world of arts and literature during this era. The audience surrounding him reflects their admiration for his work, dressed in fashionable attire that exemplifies the fashion trends prevalent in France at that time. Voltaire's presence in the theatre box metaphorically places him at the center of attention, emphasizing his significant contributions to society through his writings and ideas. As both men and women gather around him, it becomes evident that he has garnered widespread acclaim from people across different walks of life. Through this engraving captured by Anon (creator) and preserved by Heritage Images, we are transported back to the 18th century where Voltaire's intellectual prowess shone brightly amidst a backdrop of cultural enlightenment. It serves as a testament to his lasting impact on literature, philosophy, and society as a whole.
