This print captures the essence of Ernest Legouve, a renowned French playwright and dramatist. Taken by the talented photographer Nadar in 1853/76, this woodburytype image showcases Legouve's distinguished presence and intellectual aura. Legouve's contribution to French literature is immeasurable, as he was known for his thought-provoking plays that explored complex human emotions.
