Important French writer, artist, and statesman (1802–1885) best known for such canonical novels as Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (aka The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Much of his literary output was devoted to political and social issues, and in the 1840s he became actively involved in the French government as a legislator and staunch activist on behalf of the Republican cause. In 1851 the controversy surrounding his inflammatory writings denouncing Louis-Napoléon forced him into a two-decade exile, during which his productive creative pace barely slackened. Partial self-contained ALS in French, one page, 4 x 5.25, January 30, 1874. Last page of a longer letter to an unknown recipient regarding a financial matter. There are a couple of ink notations at bottom of page in another hand. Page is affixed to a larger mount and framed with a small caption to an overall size of 6.25 x 8.25. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a few small holes, scattered toning and soiling, and scattered creases.
