• Resumen

  • Among the Franz Liszt memorabilia preserved in the Klassik Stiftung Weimar Museen, one of the "visiting cards" that Victor Hugo sent to his friends during his exile has recently been identified by the German author of this article. Mainly drawn by the poet using his writer's paraphernalia: pen, and the brown, red, green and blue inks that can be found in the contemporary manuscripts, this exceptional work can be dated to the end of 1854. It would seem to have been sent to the pianist at the same time as three photographs of the atelier in Jersey, in October 1854.

    Did Victo Hugo seek to adapt his drawing to the recipient? The initials and the letters of his name that constitute the map open out in an arborescence that recalls that of the rhytmic figures in music. Nevertheless, as the same time, many details of the work also demonstrate the imprint of his exile to Jersey on the banished poet, in his face to face with the ocean, as with his dialogues with the Table during the spiritualist séances at wich he had been participating since 1853.
