Massive vintage sepia 10.25 x 14.5 photo of Victor Hugo by the Walery Studio of Paris, affixed to the original 18.5 x 24 studio mount, which is signed and inscribed in black ink, "A ma bonne Virginie Noel, Victor Hugo.” In very good to fine condition, with light toning, scattered foxing, and dings and tears to the edges, which could be matted out if desired. An impressive oversized portrait of the French scribe—given how the majority of Hugo signed photographs are reserved to the carte-de-visite format, this large example looms as a most unusual and desirable piece.
