French statesman and historian (1797-1877), second elected President of France and first President of the French Third Republic.

Large signed photograph (21 x 27.25 inches), hand-signed by the famous photographer Leon Bonnat (1833-1922) - his portraits of Victor Hugo and Louis Adolphe Thiers are among his most famous works. Size of the actual photograph without the mat around (inside the golden borders) is 13 x 17.5 inches.

The actual photo print is in excellent condition; the original photographer's mat has some loss of paper on the corners, overall aging, coloration, and some stains. There is a clear crease over the left border, but it is still in very good condition.

This is a rare, large size item!
