EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Victor Hugo, one of France's most celebrated writers, during his exile on the picturesque island of Guernsey in 1862. Taken by Edmond Bacot, a talented French photographer, this albumen print showcases Hugo's striking features and commanding presence. The image measures 16 x 11 cm and is mounted on a larger frame measuring 31. 7 x 22. 3 cm. The delicate details captured through the wet collodion negative process bring out the depth and texture of Hugo's face, emphasizing his intense gaze and iconic beard. Hugo's time in Guernsey was marked by creativity and solitude as he sought refuge from political turmoil back home. This portrait serves as a testament to his resilience and artistic spirit during this period. Displayed within an elegant mat measuring 45. 7 x 35. 6 cm, this photograph becomes a timeless piece that transports viewers back to the mid-19th century when Hugo was at the height of his literary prowess. Whether you are an admirer of Victor Hugo or simply appreciate fine art photography, this print offers a glimpse into history while capturing the enigmatic aura surrounding one of France's greatest literary figures.
