EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Honore de Balzac, a renowned French novelist from the 19th century. Taken in 1956, this image showcases Balzac's distinguished face adorned with his iconic moustache. Balzac, born in 1799, initially pursued a career as a lawyer before abandoning it to follow his passion for literature. He became an incredibly prolific author, known for his novels and especially his exceptional short stories which are considered some of the greatest works in the French language. The print is sourced from "People" a volume that delves into the origin and early history of various things both essential and nonessential. Published by Readers Union through The Grosvenor Press in London, this piece offers us a glimpse into Balzac's life and achievements. The photographer behind this striking portrait remains unknown; however, it was captured during an era when monochrome photography was prevalent. The image exudes an air of sophistication and timelessness that perfectly complements Balzac's literary genius. Honore de Balzac stands as an influential figure not only within French literature but also on an international scale. This print serves as a testament to his lasting impact on the arts while providing viewers with a window into the world of one of France's most celebrated authors.
