19th C, Decopauge "The Allegory of Civilization" Magnificent
Important Work
Located in Atlanta, GA
“The Allegory of Civilization: A Historical Collage of Progress and Virtue”
This monumental and highly unusual large-scale decoupage tableau—measuring 44.25 inches wide by 35 inches high—is an extraordinary and densely composed visual compendium of 18th- and 19th-century figures of global significance. Executed in a monochrome palette with light hand-tinting, the work comprises hundreds of individual portrait engravings and narrative vignettes intricately collaged together to form a panoramic composition of historical, cultural, scientific, literary, and military figures, interspersed with allegorical and architectural elements.
This form of assemblage is rooted in the 19th-century practice of *papiers collés* and popular scrapbooking traditions, but this work surpasses decorative craft in both ambition and intellectual scope, bordering on the encyclopedic. The hand-cut images appear to have been culled from period illustrated books and engraved portrait sources—most notably from publications such as *The Illustrated London News*, *Harper’s Weekly*, and *The Eclectic Magazine*—as well as engraved frontispieces and serialized pictorial histories. The result is a vast visual lexicon of Enlightenment and Romantic thought, likely intended as a celebration of moral, intellectual, and national achievement.
At the composition’s apex, presiding over the assembled figures, is a classically draped winged allegory—possibly *Fame* or *Liberty*—holding a trumpet and laurel branch. The mountainous background, waterfalls, architectural ruins, and pastoral settings lend the piece a theatrical and didactic ambiance, evoking 19th-century didascalic panoramas.
A partial identification of historical figures visible in the composition includes:
* **George Washington** – Posed centrally, gesturing outward with one hand; he appears multiple times in the scene and is shown in both military uniform and formal dress.
* **Napoleon Bonaparte** – Recognizable by his uniform, bicorne hat, and stern gaze; appears in profile and frontal portraits.
* **Benjamin Franklin** – Seen holding a scroll; a common figure in Enlightenment iconography.
* **William Shakespeare** – Near the lower central register; recognizable from the famous Chandos portrait derivative.
* **Johann Wolfgang von Goethe** and **Friedrich Schiller** – Likely placed in the literary cluster with other Germanic figures.
* **Florence Nightingale** – Shown in nurse’s cap and shawl, likely near a grouping of women in medical service.
* **Queen Victoria** and **Prince Albert** – Appearing in regalia, along with a number of courtly figures.
* **Ludwig van Beethoven**, **Franz Liszt**, and **Niccolò...
