PIERRE LOTI, alias Louis-Marie-Julien Viaud (1850-1923): A Satirical View This intriguing photograph captures the enigmatic French naval officer and novelist, Pierre Loti, in an unconventional pose. Born as Louis-Marie-Julien Viaud in 1850, Loti would later adopt the pen name Pierre Loti, which became synonymous with his literary works. The image, taken in 1898, depicts Loti in an extravagant red and gold uniform, complete with a striking hat adorned with a feather. The setting, a plush red chair, adds an air of regality to the scene. However, the satirical element of the photograph lies in the incongruous juxtaposition of Loti's military attire with the seemingly mundane and ordinary surroundings. Loti's literary works often explored exotic locales and romantic relationships, and his unconventional lifestyle and penchant for adventure made him a figure of intrigue in late 19th-century France. This photograph, with its playful and ironic tone, offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted persona of this fascinating French author and naval officer.
