EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Illustration for The History of a Crime" by Victor Hugo, transports viewers back to a significant moment in history. Created by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel in 1877, this print captures the essence of Hugo's powerful narrative. The scene depicted is from "The History of a Crime" where St Antoine Barricade stands as the backdrop for an intense confrontation between representatives and squads armed with bayonets. A courageous captain leads the charge while turning his gaze towards the viewer, evoking a sense of urgency and determination. In this pivotal moment, cries of "Vive la Republique!" fill the air as chaos unfolds on the streets. The illustration beautifully encapsulates both the turmoil and resilience that defined this era. Victor Hugo himself was not only an esteemed writer but also a prominent figure in French literature. Known for his plays, novels, and poetry, he left an indelible mark on literary history. This engraving serves as homage to his profound storytelling abilities. With its intricate details and masterful composition, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one of Hugo's most gripping tales. It reminds us of the power that art holds in capturing historical moments and preserving them for generations to come. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this piece from Bridgeman Images allows enthusiasts to appreciate both Marie's artistic skill and Victor Hugo's enduring legacy.
