介绍（中）	这本护照发给艺术家查尔斯·德·圣梅明（Charles de Saint-Mémin），描述他四十岁，身高五英尺四 1/2 英寸，肤色浅，淡褐色眼睛，左臂上有两道疤痕，光头通常戴着假发。在巴黎军事学院接受教育后，圣梅明在大革命期间与家人一起离开法国，首先前往瑞士，然后前往纽约（1793 年抵达，他们打算搬到圣多明各（现在的海地）的家族庄园，但被该岛上的起义阻止了）。为了养家糊口，查尔斯成为了一名自学成才的肖像画家，专门研究轮廓，通常是在相貌学家的帮助下制作的。他的研究对象包括约翰·马歇尔、托马斯·杰斐逊和乔治·华盛顿。该文件表明艺术家在此期间成为美国公民。1814年回到法国，他成为第戎美术博物馆的馆长。
介绍（英）	Issued to the artist Charles de Saint-Mémin, this passport describes him as aged forty, five feet 4 1/2 inches tall, with a light complexion, hazel eyes, two scars on his left arm, and a bald head usually covered with a wig. After an education at the École Militaire in Paris, Saint-Mémin left France with his family during the Revolution, first for Switzerland, then New York (arriving in 1793, they intended to move on to a family estate in Sainte Domingue (now Haiti), but were prevented by the uprising on that island). To support the family, Charles became a self-taught portraitist and specialized in profiles, often produced with the help of a physiognotrace. His subjects included John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. This document indicates that the artist became a United States citizen during this period. Returning to France in 1814, he became director of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon.
