Photograph from 1878 by Félix Tournachon, known as Nadar.
Superb portrait of the great man, arms crossed and gazing into the distance.
As early as 1860, Félix Nadar founded the Nadar Studio, 35 boulevard des Capucines, a veritable glass palace dedicated to photography.
In 1872, facing financial difficulties, he was forced to transfer the said workshop to a more modest location on rue d'Anjou.
