EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed French lexicographer and philosopher, Émile Maximilien Paul Littré. Taken in France during the years 1870-1880, this carte de visite captures Littré's profound intellect and contemplative nature. Littré, known for his contributions to humanistic disciplines such as philosophy and philology, is depicted here with an air of wisdom that emanates from his piercing gaze. His round spectacles serve as a symbol of his scholarly pursuits, emphasizing his dedication to knowledge and understanding. The photographer Nadar expertly captures not only Littré's intellectual prowess but also pays attention to fashion and clothing details. The portrait reveals a man who exudes sophistication through every aspect of his appearance. From the refined cut of his suit to the carefully groomed facial hair, it is evident that Littré was not only a thinker but also someone who valued elegance in personal style. This photograph immortalizes one of history's most influential minds. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back in time to witness the presence of a true luminary. It serves as a reminder that even great thinkers were once mere mortals; their ideas shaped our world while their portraits continue to inspire us today. Alinari has done justice to this remarkable piece by preserving its essence through careful reproduction. This print allows us all an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic skill behind capturing such moments in history and the lasting impact individuals like Émile Maximilien Paul Littré have had on society at large.
