EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Charles Hugo (1826-1871), the second son of the renowned French poet and author, Victor Hugo. Born into a family of literary greatness, Charles followed in his father's footsteps and pursued a career in journalism. During the revolutionary year of 1848, he served as the secretary to the interim head of state, Alexandre-Auguste Ledru-Rollin, better known as Lamartine. The image, published in the Journal Universel in 1871, was created by the skilled engraver J. Robert. The meticulously colored print captures the essence of Charles Hugo's character, revealing a thoughtful and introspective young man. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance suggest a man of intellect and refinement. Charles Hugo's life was deeply intertwined with the rich historical tapestry of 19th-century Europe. As a journalist, he played an active role in shaping public opinion during a time of political upheaval and social change. His association with Lamartine, a prominent figure in French politics, further solidified his place in the annals of French history. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the life of an intriguing character, whose legacy continues to resonate in the world of literature and journalism. The intricate details of the engraving, brought to life by the skillful use of color, serve as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time.
