EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a caricature of the renowned French writer, Victor Hugo. Created by Charles Auguste Loye in the late 19th century, this color lithograph is a satirical take on Hugo's famous novel, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". The image portrays Hugo with his distinctively proud demeanor and trademark beard. In this artwork, we see Hugo standing proudly atop the ramparts of Notre Dame de Paris, holding a banner that symbolizes his role as a standard bearer for romanticism. As one of the leading figures in French literature during the Romantic era, he championed emotional expression and individuality through his works. The cartoonish style adds an element of humor to this portrayal while still capturing the essence of Hugo's character. This print not only pays homage to Victor Hugo but also serves as a representation of satire within literary circles during that time. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of 19th-century literature and appreciate the impact that writers like Victor Hugo had on society. It serves as a reminder of their enduring influence and contribution to both French culture and global literary heritage.
