Photograph of Victor Hugo in Hauteville-House
Taken by andré printed by A. Maurice | Paris [1878] 1891 | 10.6 x 16.4 cm | one photograph
 

Large original photograph on albumin paper, cabinet portrait size, mounted on thick card.
Photographer's advert to verso.
Rare photograph of Victor Hugo in his house, Hauteville, in the famous red Renaissance drawing room, the writer's favourite, entirely designed by him. The photograph shows the writer seated, his right hand in his vest. In early summer 1878, Hugo had an attack of apoplexy in Paris and went back to Hauteville to convalesce. The photographer, André, took several shots of him at Hauteville. The interesting thing about these pictures is that they are not studio portraits. The glass plates were later recovered by Alexandre Maurice, who printed from them in 1891.
A copy of this photograph is in the museum at Hauteville House. We haven't found any other copy in a public collection.
