New edition of the catalog. Although he claimed to have "something else to do," Victor Hugo left nearly four thousand drawings to the history of art. Regularly enriched, the remarkable collection of more than seven hundred sheets preserved at the Maison de Victor Hugo now houses the writer-illustrator's most famous masterpieces. Through some thirty landscapes, ghostly architecture, ruins, deserted cities, ships tossed by raging waves, and lighthouses, "sentinels of the night," this work, imbued with "things seen," memories, reveries, and fantasies, reveals the unfathomable visionary power of Victor Hugo.
