EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative close-up photograph captures the somber atmosphere surrounding the coffin of renowned French poet and author Victor Hugo, as it lay in state at the Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris, 1885. The coffin, draped in a velvet pall and adorned with an abundance of wreaths, is a poignant testament to the outpouring of grief and admiration from the French people for their literary hero. The image, created by French photographer E. Durang, transports us back in time to this significant moment in history, as the nation mourned the loss of one of its most cherished cultural figures. The Maison de Victor Hugo, now a museum dedicated to the life and works of Victor Hugo, served as the final resting place for the author until his remains were moved to the Panthéon in Paris in 1887. This powerful image, with its intricate details and timeless beauty, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of Victor Hugo and the profound impact he had on French literature and culture.
