EDITORS COMMENTS
Francois Certain-Canrobert: A Distinguished French Marshal of the 19th Century This engraving portrays Francois Certain-Canrobert (1809-1895), a renowned French marshal of the 19th century. Born on February 2, 1809, in La Châtre, Indre, France, Certain-Canrobert rose to prominence through his military prowess and strategic acumen. The image, published in "The Spanish and American Illustration" in 1872, captures Certain-Canrobert's distinguished face with a thoughtful expression, framed by a full goatee. His uniform, adorned with numerous medals and decorations, signifies his long and successful military career. Certain-Canrobert began his military service in the French army at the age of 16 and saw action in various campaigns throughout Europe. He gained fame for his leadership during the Crimean War and was later appointed as the French commander in Mexico during the French intervention in 1862. Despite his successes, Certain-Canrobert faced challenges and controversies, including a failed attempt to seize Puebla and a subsequent defeat at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. However, he continued to serve France with distinction, eventually retiring from the military in 1870. This engraving, with its vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the European milieu of the 19th century and the storied career of a remarkable military leader. Francois Certain-Canrobert's legacy endures as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the French military and the rich history of Europe.
