EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The History of a Crime, the Testimony of an Eye-Witness" an engraving by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel. Created in 1877 and now part of a private collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of literature and drama during that era. In this scene, we see Madame Arnauld reading letters handed to her by a workman. The intense expression on her face suggests she is deeply engrossed in the contents of these letters. As Victor Hugo's wife, she holds a significant role as both his confidante and muse. The image also features other prominent figures such as Archbishop M. Sibour, who appears engaged in conversation with Madame Arnauld's husband. This intriguing gathering hints at the complex web of relationships within literary circles during this time. With its focus on testimony and crime, this engraving alludes to themes commonly explored in Victor Hugo's works – justice, morality, and societal issues. It serves as a visual representation of the power that words hold when they are transformed into art. As we delve into this snapshot from history through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to an era where female writers were beginning to make their mark alongside renowned playwrights like Victor Hugo himself. This print invites us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also the rich tapestry woven by these literary giants.
