EDITORS COMMENTS

The photograph was taken around 1870 by Eugène Pirou, an accomplished photographer of the time. Leconte de Lisle's piercing gaze is captured in exquisite detail, revealing both his intellectual depth and enigmatic persona. His neatly groomed beard adds an air of sophistication to his appearance, while his intense expression hints at the profound emotions that lay beneath. The albumin photo technique used in this print enhances its timeless quality, giving it a sense of nostalgia that transports us back to the late 19th century. The delicate tones and textures further emphasize the artistry involved in capturing such a striking image.
