Around the turn of the nineteenth century, the brothers began to publish lavishly bound and illustrated editions of texts by Racine, Virgil and Horace, known as the Louvre editions. The French painter Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson was among the artists from Jacques-Louis Davids studio commissioned to produce illustrations for the impressive tomes. It was perhaps during this period that Girodet came to know Firmin and subsequently produced the spectacularly handsome portrait of the publisher on which this medal is based (Versailles, 1823). This striking portrait medal, executed by the exceptionally skilled and prolific medalist, Jean-Jacques Barre, exemplifies the secular shift in medallic art in post-Napoleonic France, Galerie métallique des grands hommes français (Great Men of France), André Galle, France, 1761 - 1844, Cast bronze, Bust of Guillaume-Chrétien de Lamoignon de Malesherbes (1721 -1794)., France, ca. 1819, metalwork, Decorative Arts, Medal, MedalMedal of James WhitcombRiley.
