Anne Robert Jacques Turgot (1727-1781), French politician and economist
Anne Robert Jacques Turbot (1727-1781), French politician and economist. Turgot was an advocate of free trade and laissez-faire principles in economics. As comptroller-general of finances (1774-1776), Turgot advocated radical reforms to the French economy and taxation system. His policies, particularly edicts abolishing guilds and levying taxation on all, including the nobility, made Turgot many enemies, and Louis XVI was persuaded to demand his resignation. Turgots edicts were repealed, but his conviction that the only alternative to radical reform was revolution proved to be correct in 1789

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, a prominent French politician and economist of the 18th century. Known for his advocacy of free trade and laissez-faire principles in economics, Turgot held the position of comptroller-general of finances from 1774 to 1776. During this time, he proposed radical reforms to transform the French economy and taxation system. Turgot's policies faced fierce opposition from various factions, particularly his edicts that abolished guilds and imposed taxes on all citizens, including the nobility. These controversial measures ultimately led to his resignation after pressure from King Louis XVI. Although his reforms were repealed at the time, history would prove Turgot's belief that only radical change or revolution could address France's deep-rooted issues. In this engraving by Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot himself (credited as Unknown), we see a profile view of a man who was ahead of his time in economic thinking. His determined expression reflects both his commitment to reformist ideals and the challenges he faced during his tenure as a statesman. This print serves as a reminder of Turgot's significant contributions to economics and politics in France during an era marked by profound social changes. It is an invaluable piece capturing one man's pursuit for progress amidst resistance—a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de l'Aulne.
