EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Victor Hugo" captured by renowned French photographer Etienne Carjat in 1862. The image beautifully captures the essence and character of one of France's most celebrated literary figures, Victor Hugo. In this portrait, we see a distinguished-looking Hugo with his piercing gaze and unruly beard, exuding an air of intellect and creativity. Carjat skillfully uses lighting and composition to highlight the author's intense expression, emphasizing his deep thoughts and profound emotions. The woodburytype printing technique employed for this print adds a unique texture and depth to the image, enhancing its artistic appeal. Measuring at 25.1 x 18.4 cm (9 7/8 x 7 1/4 in. ), this photograph is a testament to Carjat's mastery as well as his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Victor Hugo was not only known for his literary contributions but also for being an influential political figure during turbulent times in France. This portrait serves as a visual tribute to his immense talent, capturing him at a pivotal moment in history. Displayed against a backdrop of Parisian elegance, this print transports us back to mid-19th century France - an era marked by intellectual fervor and artistic brilliance. It is indeed a remarkable piece that encapsulates both the genius of Victor Hugo and the artistry of Etienne Carjat.
