CDV with albumen print with strong contrast. Bottom edge trimmed. On printed Nadar mount with Sand's name written in ink on verso. Very Good Condition.
Carte de visite of famous French novelist George Sand by pioneer French photographer Nadar, circa 1870.
George Sand (1804-1876) was likely the best known and most popular French novelist of her time. Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil chose the masculine pseudonym George Sand at the age of 27 but was a strong advocate for women's rights. A prolific writer, Sand wrote some 70 novels, plus plays, political tracts and commentary.
Photographer Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820-1910) went by the name Nadar and was not only the 'photographer of the stars' but also a pioneer of aerial photography. Nadar, in 1863 commissioned prominent balloonist Eugène Godard to construct a huge balloon and sold balloon trips, complete with dinner, to paying guests.
