Description
A finely detailed aquatint depicting the Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). His political philosophy influenced the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought. After his *Emile* outraged the French parliament, an arrest order was issued by parliament against him, causing him to flee to Switzerland. Signed within the plate. On paper.
Condition
Signs of wear consistent with age including discolouration, dirtying, and foxing to the paper. Wear around the edges as well as some small tears.
