EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of François Paul Meurice (1818-1905), a French dramatist and editor of great significance in the literary and historical annals of the late 19th century. Meurice is best known for his role as the editor of the influential literary journal, "L'Événement," which was founded by Victor Hugo in 1880. Meurice served as the journal's editor until 1885, during which time he also acted as Hugo's literary executor and oversaw the publication of many of the renowned author's works. Born in Paris in 1818, Meurice was a contemporary of Victor Hugo and a key player in the literary and political circles of the time. His contributions to French literature and theater were significant, and he was a respected figure in the literary world. After Hugo's death in 1885, Meurice continued to promote and preserve his mentor's legacy, ensuring that his works remained in the public consciousness. This photograph, taken in 1905, captures Meurice in the twilight of his career, with the wisdom and experience of a lifetime etched on his face. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the important role he played in the literary and historical landscape of France during a pivotal period in its history. Meurice's dedication to the works of Victor Hugo and his role as the editor of "L'Événement" cemented his place in literary history, and his legacy continues to inspire and influence writers and scholars to this day.
