EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Marquis de Lafayette, a prominent figure in both French and American history. Born as Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, he is best known for his significant contributions during the American Revolution. The image captures a pivotal moment in Lafayette's life, aptly titled "Lafayette's Baptism by Fire". Painted by E. Percy Moran around 1909, this masterpiece depicts a young Lafayette amidst the chaos of battle. With unwavering courage and determination etched on his face, he stands tall as a symbol of bravery and leadership. Holding a sword firmly in hand and dressed in military attire, Lafayette commands respect. The painting beautifully portrays the intensity of war with its vibrant colors and attention to detail. In the background, troops march forward under the French flag while drums beat rhythmically to inspire their comrades. As an aristocrat turned soldier and statesman, Lafayette played an instrumental role in securing victory for America against British forces. His unwavering support for liberty earned him immense admiration from both sides of the Atlantic. This remarkable print serves as a timeless reminder of Lafayette's indelible mark on history—a man who fought valiantly for freedom alongside his American compatriots. It encapsulates not only his military prowess but also his enduring legacy as an advocate for democracy and human rights.
