Alexis Aimé Charles Louis de La Grange was a French politician and historian. He was born on October 19, 1825, in Paris, France, and died on January 10, 1917, in the same city. He served as a member of the French National Assembly from 1871 to 1876 and was also a member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques. La Grange was known for his historical works, including a biography of Napoleon III and a history of the Second French Empire. He was one of the first French politicians to use photography to document his travels and political activities. La Grange's photographs were published in various newspapers and magazines, and he exhibited them at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1867. His photographic collection is now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. La Grange was also a keen collector of art and antiques, and his collection included works by artists such as Eugène Delacroix and Théodore Géricault. Despite his many interests, La Grange remained committed to his political career and served as a member of the National Assembly until his retirement in 1876.
