EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary French novelist Victor Hugo in his later years, as he gazes out with a hint of grumpiness and a touch of melancholy. Dressed in a heavy coat and scarf, Hugo's white beard and furrowed brow add to his distinguished and aged appearance. The image, taken in 1885, showcases the historical significance of this literary giant, who lived through some of the most tumultuous periods in French history. Born in 1802, Victor Hugo was a prolific writer, poet, and dramatist whose works continue to be celebrated around the world. He rose to prominence during the Romantic era, and his novels, such as "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," are considered classics of French literature. Despite his literary achievements, Hugo's later years were marked by political exile and personal tragedy. He was a vocal critic of the French monarchy and was forced into exile during the Second French Empire. He spent 14 years in England, where he wrote some of his most famous works, including "Les Contemplations." Upon his return to France in 1870, Hugo was welcomed as a national hero, and he continued to write and publish until his death in 1885. This photograph, taken just a few years before his passing, offers a poignant glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on French literature and history. The photograph's title, "Victor Hugo," and its origin from Mary Evans Picture Library, serve as a reminder of the rich historical and cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of the written word and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity and age.
