EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French novelist and critic, Paul Charles Joseph Bourget. Taken in 1893 by artist Eugene Pirou, this portrait captures the essence of a man who left an indelible mark on literature. Paul Bourget, with his distinguished appearance, gazes directly at the viewer with confidence and intelligence. His well-groomed moustache adds to his refined demeanor while his bow tie and jacket reflect the fashion of the Victorian era. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the timeless quality of this image. Bourget's literary contributions cannot be understated. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times during his lifetime, he played a significant role in shaping French literature in the late 19th century. As a critic, he fearlessly dissected contemporary works while also producing thought-provoking novels that explored themes of morality and societal norms. This photograph not only captures Bourget's physical features but also hints at his intellectual prowess. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy within both French and international literary circles. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, this rare cigarette card from Felix Potin's collection offers us a glimpse into one of France's most influential literary figures. A must-have for any enthusiast or admirer of Paul Bourget's work, this print is an exquisite piece that celebrates an extraordinary mind captured forever in black and white.
