EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases David Sechard, a character from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel "Les Illusions perdues". The engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, beautifully captures Sechard's essence. David Sechard is depicted as a male with an intriguing portrait that focuses on his face and bust. He exudes an air of intelligence and sophistication, emphasized by his neatly tied bow tie. Leaning slightly forward, he seems to be lost in deep thought or contemplation. Sechard plays a significant role in Balzac's masterpiece as the close friend and spiritual brother of Lucien de Rubempre. Living in Angouleme, he acquires his father's printing works and becomes known for inventing a revolutionary method of paper production that is both innovative and cost-effective. The image offers us a glimpse into the world of this complex character who straddles both science and literature. It invites us to ponder upon Sechard's multifaceted nature - a man driven by ambition yet deeply connected to artistic pursuits. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print serves as a visual testament to Balzac's enduring literary legacy. It reminds us of the intricate web woven by characters like David Sechard within "Les Illusions perdues" - their dreams shattered or realized against the backdrop of societal expectations.
