(Jules BARBEY D'AUREVILLY)

Portrait photographique dédicacé de Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly en tenue de roulier normand

Poirel | Paris s. d. [ca 1860] | 17 x 20 cm | une photographie encadrée Poirel | Paris s. d. [ca 1860] | 17 x 20 cm | une photographie encadrée | Photographie originale en tirage d'époque sur papier albuminé représentant Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly dans une excentrique tenue constituée d'une limousine et d'une cape de roulier normand.   L'écrivain a apposé sa signature, à l'encre rouge, en bas du cliché. Le portrait est consigné dans un charmant cadre, présentant hélas quelques accrocs et fissures, sous un passe-partout recouvert d'une tapisserie rose.   Nous n'avons pu trouver que deux exemplaires de cette photographie : l'une, non dédicacée, au Musée Gustave Moreau et l'autre, présentant un envoi, cataloguée lors de la vente de la bibliothèque de J. C. D, amateur normand en 2005. Rare et étonnant portrait de l'écrivain qui, en 1845 dans son essai Du dandysme, faisait l'éloge du raffinement vestimentaire : « Un Dandy peut mettre s'il veut dix heures à sa toilette, mais une fois faite, il l'oublie. Ce sont les autres qui doivent s'apercevoir qu'il est bien mis. » | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]
