EDITORS COMMENTS
The Nadar Pantheon, captured in this 1854 lithograph by Nadar (Gaspard Felix Tournachon), is a fascinating glimpse into the literary world of 19th century Paris. Originally intended for publication in L'Eclair, this particular lithograph was the only one completed and published before being censured in September. In this print, we see a collection of illustrious poets, novelists, historians, publicists, and journalists who were prominent figures during that era. The photomontage-style composition showcases their individual portraits arranged together like a collage. Among the recognizable faces are George Sand, the Goncourt brothers (Jules de Goncourt and Edmond de Goncourt), Chateaubriand, and Balzac. This artwork not only captures the essence of these celebrated authors but also provides insight into their relationships with each other as they are depicted side by side. It serves as a testament to their influence on French literature and highlights their contributions to shaping literary culture at that time. Nadar's skillful engraving brings out the unique characteristics of each writer while maintaining an overall sense of unity within the composition. This print is now housed at Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris, France. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when these writers were revered celebrities whose works continue to inspire readers around the world today.
