AQS in French on a 12.25 x 9.25 off-white cardstock sheet, signed and inscribed along the bottom in ink by Hugo, adding the date of December 16, 1876. Hugo writes the first verse of his poem "Patria," in full (untranslated): "La-haut qui sourit? / Est-ce un esprit? / Est-ce une femme? / Quel front sombre et doux! / Peuple, a genoux! / Est-ce notre ame / Qui vient a nous?" Two images of the revered author are affixed to the card. In fine condition. A magnificent, large quote from one of Hugo's classic poems.
