EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history as Voltaire, the renowned French writer and philosopher, is crowned by Mademoiselle Clairon. Engraved by Jean Victor in 1791, this masterpiece showcases the talent of Claude Louis Desrais. In the image, we see Voltaire standing tall with his head held high, adorned with a laurel wreath placed delicately upon his brow by Mademoiselle Clairon. The actress herself exudes grace and elegance as she performs this symbolic act of recognition for one of France's most influential figures. Voltaire's iconic wig adds to his distinguished appearance while he holds onto a walking stick, perhaps symbolizing both his age and wisdom. His elaborate costume reflects the theatrical world that he was deeply involved in throughout his life. Mademoiselle Clairon's presence in this engraving highlights her own significance as an accomplished performer during this era. Her jabot collar adds an extra touch of sophistication to her attire. This print not only celebrates two prominent individuals but also represents the intersection between literature and theater during the Enlightenment period. It serves as a reminder of their contributions to French culture and intellectual thought. Displayed at Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, France, this historical artifact provides us with a glimpse into a time when writers were revered like royalty and actors played pivotal roles on society's stage.
