EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary French writer, Victor Hugo, standing on his belvedere at Guernsey. The image exudes a sense of contemplation and solitude as Hugo gazes out into the distance, perhaps drawing inspiration for his next literary masterpiece.
Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was not only a prolific novelist but also a poet, playwright, and political activist. His works such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" have left an indelible mark on literature and continue to be celebrated worldwide.
The photo was taken in the early 20th century by a French photographer and later featured in The Pall Mall Magazine in 1907. It offers a rare glimpse into the private life of this iconic figure during his exile from France.
Hugo's time in Guernsey was marked by creativity and introspection, away from the political turmoil of his homeland. This image captures him in a moment of quiet reflection amidst the natural beauty of the island.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of Hugo's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest writers. His presence on that belvedere symbolizes both his resilience in adversity and his unwavering commitment to artistic expression.
