EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intellectual prowess of Emile Littre, a renowned French lexicographer and philosopher. Taken around 1876 by Pierre Petit, this woodburytype image emanates an air of wisdom and sophistication. Littre's bespectacled gaze reflects his deep contemplation as he delves into the realms of language and thought. His spectacles serve as a symbol of his scholarly pursuits, emphasizing his dedication to unraveling the intricacies of words and their meanings. The photograph is part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute Chicago, showcasing Littre's significant contributions to French literature and philosophy during the 19th century. It was originally featured in "Galerie Contemporaine Litteraire, Artistique" a prominent periodical from that era. Pierre Petit's skillful composition highlights both Littre's intellectual stature and his refined demeanor. The attention to detail in capturing every line on his face speaks volumes about Petit's artistry as a photographer. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded not only of Emile Littre but also of the countless thinkers who have shaped our understanding of language and human existence throughout history. This remarkable image serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within academia and beyond.
