Armand De Gontaude De Biron, Marshal of France

by Thomas Jefferys

Here is an extremely rare engraving of Armand de Gontaut, Baron de Biron, an esteemed Marshal of France famous for his skills during the French Religious Wars. In the engraving, we can see a depiction of the Marshal dressed up in a manner befitting of his rank as a member of the French aristocracy.

This particular print is included in Jefferys’ world-renowned collection of ethnographic records and provides a great historical illustration of one of the most important military men of the century.
