St. Amant, 1844. Creator: Unknown

St. Amant, 1844. Portrait of French chess player Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint-Amant, who...may safely be pronounced the most brilliant [chess] player of the present day.Monsieur St. Amant, when young, filled a situation as Clerk to the Colonies, in which he remained a few years. Finding such occupation monotonous, he returned to Paris, joined the theatrical profession, and appeared at the Theatre Francais as a comedian. After two or three first appearances he abandoned this line of life, and subsequently became...a wine-merchant. It was not until after he had fretted his hour on the stage that he applied himself studiously to chess...In the year 1836, and again we believe, in 1839, St. Amant visited London, played with our best players, and returned to his home crowned with victories. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
