EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chevalier D Eon de Beaumont, 1813" offers a glimpse into the extraordinary life of Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d'Eon de Beaumont. Known as the Chevalier d'Eon, this French diplomat and spy lived an unconventional existence that defied societal norms. The print showcases the Chevalier in all their enigmatic glory. Donning a regal cap and dressed impeccably, they exude confidence and elegance. The sword held firmly in hand symbolizes their skillful participation in fencing tournaments until an unfortunate injury halted their career in 1796. What sets the Chevalier apart is not only their remarkable talent but also their gender identity journey. For the first 49 years of their life, they lived as a man before embracing womanhood for the remaining 33 years. This bold act challenged traditional notions of gender roles during that era. Beyond being a trailblazer for transgender individuals, the Chevalier was also deeply involved in espionage activities and Freemasonry. Their multifaceted persona encompassed bravery on both physical and intellectual fronts. Through this engraving by Charles Jean Robineau after an original work by himself (d. c. 1787), we are transported back to witness history unfold before our eyes – a testament to human resilience and individuality. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this artwork serves as a reminder of one person's courage to live auth
