EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emile Littre, a prominent French philosopher and lexicographer, in 1869. With his spectacles perched on his nose, Littre exudes an air of intellectual prowess and wisdom. Littre's contribution to the world of language cannot be overstated. Born in 1801 and passing away in 1881, he dedicated his life to compiling the renowned Dictionnaire de la langue francaise (Dictionary of the French language). This monumental work remains a cornerstone of linguistic scholarship even today. Captured within the pages of Album de Photographies dans L'Intimite de Personnages Illustres, this image offers us a rare glimpse into the private world of distinguished individuals from 1850-1900. Published by Editions MD in Paris, this second album is a testament to their commitment to preserving historical moments. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this portrait. It transports us back to the nineteenth century when Littre was at the height of his career. His occupation as both a philosopher and lexicographer speaks volumes about his dedication to understanding language's intricate nuances while exploring profound philosophical concepts. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded not only of Emile Littre's significant contributions but also how images have the power to connect us with extraordinary figures from history.
