Description

Scarce Nadar portrait of the iconic science fiction author

Original 2.25 x 3.5 carte-de-visite head-and-shoulders photo by Nadar, signed in black ink, “Jules Verne, Amiens, Avril 99.” In fine condition, with slightly trimmed edges and some small mounting remnants to reverse. Verne was in the midst of a 15-year stint as town councilor of Amiens, having entered politics in 1888. This is one of only a few Verne portraits we have offered, and the author is extremely desirable in any form. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
