Exceptional 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Hugo seated in a chair by Garnier of Guernsey, boldly signed on the reverse in bold black ink, "Pro jure contra legem., Victor Hugo, H. H. 1866." In fine condition. Hugo lived at Hauteville House in Guernsey during his exile from France, from 1856 to 1870, driven from his home by Napoleon III's coup of 1851. "Pro jure contra legem" was a motto that Hugo had adopted as a protest against oppression, making this an exceptionally desirable inscription.Format: Signed Photo
