EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of General Alexandre D Arblay, a remarkable French soldier who sought refuge in England during the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. Born in 1748, his life took an unexpected turn as he found himself displaced from his homeland and seeking solace across the English Channel. Intriguingly, it was during this time that destiny intervened and brought him together with Fanny Burney, daughter of renowned musicologist Charles Burney and a talented novelist in her own right. In 1793, their paths intertwined as they exchanged vows and embarked on a journey filled with love and literary brilliance. The artist behind this engraving has masterfully captured the strength and determination etched upon General Alexandre D Arblay's face. His piercing gaze reflects both his resilience as a soldier and his unwavering commitment to protecting those he holds dear. Displayed within the pages of Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay by Fanny Burney (London, 1843), this print serves as a testament to their enduring bond amidst challenging times. It is not merely an image but rather a window into history itself – reminding us of the power of love, literature, and human connection even amidst chaos. As we gaze upon this engraving today, let us remember General Alexandre D Arblay's courage as he navigated through treacherous waters while finding sanctuary in England. And may we also celebrate Fanny Burney's indomitable spirit which allowed
