Monsieur Thiers, 1845. Portrait of French statesman and historian Louis Adolphe Thiers. 'The arrival of M. Thiers in the metropolis [London] has been expected with considerable interest, at Mivart's Hotel, in Brook-street, where Madame Thiers and family have been sojourning for some days...The present is, therefore, an interesting opportunity for introducing to our readers a portrait of the distinguished Visitor, engraved from a highly-finished plate by Robinson...M. Thiers has attracted great attention by the commencement of the publication of his "History of the Consulate and the Empire of France under Napoleon;" an excellent translation of which, by Mr. Duncan Forbes Campbell, (the only authorised edition), is now in course of issue'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
