EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of Michel-Guillaume-Jean de Crevecoeur's renowned work, "Sketches of 18th Century America". The engraving, skillfully created by Valliere in the 18th century, beautifully captures the essence of this influential French-American writer. In this portrait, we see a distinguished profile of Crevecoeur himself. His intense gaze and thoughtful expression hint at his deep understanding and appreciation for life in the New World. As an author who wrote extensively about American society during that era, Crevecoeur's words resonated with readers seeking to understand the complexities and wonders of their new home. The image exudes a sense of timelessness as it transports us back to a pivotal period in history. It serves as a visual gateway into Crevecoeur's world - one filled with vivid descriptions and insightful observations about early American life. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this photograph not only pays homage to an accomplished writer but also reminds us of the power that art has to capture moments frozen in time. Through this frontispiece, we are invited to delve deeper into Crevecoeur's writings and explore his unique perspective on America's past. As we admire this remarkable portrait, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its historical significance - celebrating Michel-Guillaume-Jean de Crevecoeur as an important figure whose literary contributions continue to shape our understanding of 18th-century America.
