EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable commemorative plate that pays tribute to the extraordinary life of Victor Hugo. Created at the renowned Sarreguemines pottery around 1884-85, this ceramic masterpiece is a testament to French craftsmanship and artistic expression of the 19th century. The plate features an enchanting portrait of Victor Hugo at its center, captured by one of the talented Nadar brothers. This photograph was likely taken shortly before his passing, adding a poignant touch to this exquisite artwork. Victor Hugo, known as one of France's most celebrated romantic novelists, left an indelible mark on literature with works like "Les Misérables" and "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". However, his influence extended far beyond writing; he was also actively involved in politics and played a significant role during King Louis Philippe's reign. This commemorative plate serves as a timeless reminder of Hugo's enduring legacy. It beautifully captures his profound intellect and enigmatic persona while honoring his years spent in exile for political reasons. Now preserved in a private collection, this rare piece exemplifies both historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness the impact made by this literary genius who continues to inspire generations with his words and ideals.
