Paris: A. Maurice, 1878. Fine. A. Maurice, Paris 1878, 10,6x16,4cm, une photographie. - Grande photographie originale sur papier albuminé, au format carte de cabinet, contrecollée sur un carton fort. Publicité du photographe au dos. Rare photographie de Victor Hugo dans sa maison de Hauteville, dans le fameux salon rouge Renaissance, la pièce préférée de l'écrivain, entièrement conçue par lui. On y voit l'écrivain assis, la main droite dans son gilet. De la pièce on peut voir le grand lustre à gaz, 4 sculptures porte-torchères et un miroir dans le fond. Au début de l'été 1878, Victor Hugo fait une attaque d'apoplexie à Paris et rejoint Hauteville pour sa convalescence durant les mois d'été. Le photographe André prendra alors de lui plusieurs clichés à Hauteville ; l'intérêt de ces photographies est qu'elles ne sont pas des photographies de studio. Les plaques de verre seront récupérés plus tard par Alexandre Maurice qui les tirera en 1891.… Read More
