This engraving captures the distinguished figure of Charles Auguste Heriot (1825-1879), a prominent French businessman of the 19th century. Heriot is best known for his role as the principal proprietor of the Grands Magasins du Louvre, a renowned department store located in the heart of Paris. Established in 1836, the Grands Magasins du Louvre quickly became a popular destination for both Parisians and tourists alike, offering a wide range of goods from clothing and household items to luxury merchandise. Heriot's character is evident in this portrait, which showcases his sharp features, piercing gaze, and impeccable attire. The engraving, published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1879, highlights the historical significance of Heriot's contributions to French commerce during a time of great economic growth and cultural innovation. As a personage of his time, Heriot's impact on Parisian society extended beyond the realm of business. His department store was a symbol of modernity and progress, attracting visitors from all walks of life and contributing to the city's burgeoning reputation as a global cultural hub. This enchanting image of Charles Auguste Heriot serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of French entrepreneurship and the transformative power of commerce during the 19th century.
