EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "General Gaston Auguste Marquis de Gallifet, in All his Glory" by artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, offers a glimpse into the tumultuous history of 19th century France. General Gaston Auguste (1830-1909) Marquis de Gallifet is depicted in his military uniform, exuding power and authority.
