Paul-Adolphe Rajon (1843 – 1888) was a French painter and printmaker, who started his career as a photographer. A friend of Philippe Burty, Félix Bracquemond, and Louis-Charles-Auguste Steinheil, Rajon was awarded medals at the Paris Salons of 1869, 1870, and 1873, and at the Exposition Universelle of 1878. During the Franco-German War of 1870, Rajon enlisted in the National Guard battalion Tirailleurs de la Seine and saw active service in fighting at La Malmaison.[ Rajon enjoyed a long and healthy career in Great Britain. He etched both contemporary works and Old Masters, as well as portraits, including ones of Ivan Turgenev, Théophile Gautier, John Stuart Mill, Charles Darwin, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. He was critically praised in France, Great Britain, and the United States, through his acquaintance with the New York-based American print dealer Frederick Keppel. bVery good condition.
