Emile Littre (1801-1881): A 19th-century French polymath, renowned as both a philosopher and a lexicographer. His portrait, captured by Pierre Petit, reveals a deep thinker with a keen intellect. Littre's groundbreaking work on the French language, "Dictionnaire de la langue française," revolutionized linguistic studies. Yet, his legacy extends beyond lexicography. His philosophical musings, such as his critique of Darwin's theory of evolution through the metaphor of a circus monkey, continue to provoke thought. The Littre operation, a surgical procedure for the artificial anus, bears his name. A true testament to Littre's multifaceted contributions to science and culture.
