While residing in Guernsey since the autumn of 1855, Hugo traveled to Jersey, his initial place of exile, at the request of prominent citizens and exiles on the island to support Giuseppe Garibaldi. Hugo arrived in Jersey on June 18, 1860. It was on this occasion that this photograph was taken by the photographer Henry Mülling.
