EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Parmentier, sketched by the renowned Victor Hugo, captures a moment in history filled with intrigue and scandal. Parmentier, an associate of General Amedee Louis de Cubieres, found himself embroiled in a bribery case that shook the political landscape in May-June 1847. The principal accused, Jean-Baptiste Teste, was at the center of this scandal that involved corruption and deceit. In this sketch, we see Parmentier's expression captured with precision by Hugo's skilled hand. His eyes seem to hold secrets untold, his posture reflecting the weight of the accusations against him. The intricate details in this engraving from "Things Seen" by Victor Hugo bring to life a chapter in history where power and influence clashed with justice and morality. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the complexities of human nature and the consequences of our actions. Parmentier's story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and ambition unchecked. Through Hugo's artistry, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in eternity - a reminder that history has many faces, some more haunting than others. This print is not just a visual representation but also a window into a world where alliances were tested and loyalties questioned. It is a testament to both Victor Hugo's talent as an artist and his keen insight into human behavior.
