What sets this picture apart is the French inscription on the statue's base, a sign that Thomas Paine's reputation reached Paris as strongly as it did America. Paine, the English-born writer whose pamphlets *Common Sense* and *The Crisis* rallied support for American independence, moved to France in the early 1790s and won a seat in the National Convention during the Revolution. The statue dates from the years when he was celebrated as a champion of liberty on both sides of the Atlantic. This photographic reproduction, made well after the original was carved, keeps that design available to historians and collectors.
