EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Fernand Xau, a prominent figure in the world of French journalism during the late 19th century. Born in 1852, Xau made a significant mark on the magazine industry, serving as editor for various prestigious publications such as Le Journal and Gil Blas. His tenure at these esteemed publications spanned over four decades, from the 1870s to the late 1890s. Xau's influence on French journalism extended beyond the pages of his magazines. He was known for his commitment to investigative reporting and his dedication to uncovering the truth, often taking on controversial topics and fearlessly challenging the status quo. His investigative pieces, which ranged from political scandals to social issues, were widely read and discussed in Parisian society. Despite the challenges and risks that came with his work, Xau remained steadfast in his pursuit of truth and justice. His unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity earned him both admiration and criticism from his peers and the public. This photograph, taken towards the end of Xau's illustrious career, captures him in a thoughtful and introspective moment. With a furrowed brow and deep in concentration, Xau appears to be poring over the latest edition of his magazine, perhaps searching for the next groundbreaking story. The image serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft and his enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in French journalism. The photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this remarkable man and the world of journalism during a time of great change and upheaval in French history.
