Original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Hugo, by Garnier Arsene of Guernsey, signed at the bottom of the image, “Rule, Britannia! Victor Hugo,” as well as a location and date in the lower border. Affixed to an off-white 3.75 x 5.25 sheet. A diagonal crease, heavy spreading to the ink in the signature, and a tiny adhesive remnant affecting part of his first name, otherwise very good condition. Hugo adopted Guernsey as home during his 15-year exile from France (1855–1870), which explains his exuberant exaltation of the Crown. This was one of his most productive periods, publishing Les Miserables in 1862.
