EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Victor Hugo, the renowned French novelist, playwright, and poet. Taken in 1875/76 by Bertall et Cie for the periodical "Galerie Contemporaine Litteraire, Artistique" this woodburytype image showcases Hugo's commanding presence. In this full-length portrait, Hugo stands tall with an air of wisdom and intensity. His piercing gaze reflects a depth of emotion that resonates through his works. The artist skillfully captures every detail of his expressive face, emphasizing his prominent features and iconic beard. Hugo's contribution to literature is immeasurable; he was a literary giant who left an indelible mark on French culture. Known for masterpieces such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" he used his pen to champion social justice and advocate for human rights. As we observe this remarkable image from the 19th century at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever. It serves as a reminder of Hugo's enduring legacy and influence on generations of writers. This photograph not only pays tribute to Victor Hugo but also highlights the artistry behind capturing a person's essence through photography. It is a testament to both Bertall et Cie's talent as well as their dedication to preserving history through their craft.
