EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Victor Hugo - published in 'Le Petit Journal', Title 'La Fete de Victor Hugo', 1881" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image depicts a satirical cartoon of the renowned French writer, Victor Hugo, on the occasion of his 80th birthday celebration. The skilled hands of Fortune Louis Meaulle and Henri Meyer bring this caricature to life with intricate details and bold lines. The artist duo perfectly captures Hugo's distinctive features, from his wild hair and thick beard to his intense gaze. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to a time when literature held immense power in shaping society. Victor Hugo was not only a prolific author but also a playwright and poet who left an indelible mark on French culture. His works such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. This print serves as both a tribute to one of France's literary giants and a testament to the enduring impact of artistry throughout history. It reminds us that even in an era dominated by technology, there is still beauty in traditional mediums like engravings. Isabelle Eshraghi's photograph flawlessly captures every detail of this historical piece while preserving its essence for future generations. Through her lens, we can appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind this satirical drawing that offers insight into both the man himself and the cultural landscape he inhabited.
