  • aluxious said:
    Wow. This is his wake isn't it? Thanks for sharing!
  • Chris Samuel said:
    There are references to this photo as being of Victor Hugo on his deathbed, but none say whether it is pre or post mortem. Certainly the year (1885) is right for this.
  • Louis Keiner said:
    It's amusing that the date is 1885 and Flickr lists the camera used as a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. ;-)
  • Chris Samuel said:
    Louis Keiner That's nothing, Fox Talbot was using one in 1843!

    "Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, later Baroness Dudevant (1804-1876), best known by her pseudonym George Sand, was a French novelist and feminist." —Wikipedia

    "...people think it very natural and pardonable to trifle with what is most sacred when dealing with women: women do not count in the social or moral order. I solemnly vow—and this is the first glimmer of courage and ambition in my life!—that I shall raise woman from her abject position, both through my self and my writing, God will help me!...let female slavery also have its Spartacus. That shall I be, or perish in the attempt."

    —George Sand in a letter to Frederic Girerd, 1837  (Winegarten, 161)


    Nadar [photographer] was the pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820-1910), a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist and balloonist. —(more) Wikipedia
