Description:
Francois-Seraphin Delpech, Paris, 1824; Hand colored stone lithograph of enigmatic Bourbon aristocrat Louis Philippe Joseph, Duke Of Orleans (1747-1793), whose dedication to the ideas of Rousseau led to his becoming an active supporter of the French Revolution, eventually giving up his own name and title in favor of "Philippe Egalité", for which act he became wildly popular. In the end, however, the complexities of political intrigue endemic to all revolutions resulted in his demise, and he was guillotined during the Reign Of Terror on November 30, 1793. Drawn, lithographed, and signed in the stone by French painter/printmaker Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse (1784-1844) one of the first of French artists to adopt the process, then in its infancy. Original hand coloring. Published by notable early nineteenth century Parisian print shop proprietor Francois-Seraphin Delpech (1785-1836). Sheet size 12 1/4" x 10 1/8". Very Good condition. Slight toning, single 3/8" closed edge tear in…
