    (Émile ZOLA)

    Portrait photographique d'Emile Zola à la Légion d'honneur

    London Stereoscopic Company|Londres [London] 1900|10.70 x 16.60 cm|une photographie au format carte cabinet
    Handsome original photographic portrait of Emile Zola in cabinet card format, period print on albumen paper mounted on cardboard from the London Stereoscopic Company and taken by an unidentified photographer.
    The writer poses there, rosette of the Legion of Honor at his buttonhole. Condemned for defamation after the publication of his famous "J'Accuse!" on the front page of L'Aurore and to escape prison, Zola secretly fled to London on July 18, 1898. On July 26, 1898, the Legion of Honor was withdrawn from him. A snub to this France that did not understand him, this "rosette" photograph was most likely taken after his removal from the order of the Legion of Honor.
