Victor HUGO – Signed autograph letter
Autograph letter signed "Victor H." to a lady. Paris July 1 (1848?); 1 page in-8°.
Undated letter but certainly written after the days of June 1848: "a word from you pays me for everything. I thank you with all my heart. I offered myself, God didn't want me. But what a terrible and cruel war! what a victory full of mourning! I feel that I will not be able to smile any more until the day I see you again. I kiss your feet, Madam…"
The days of June 1848 are a revolt of the workers, who erect barricades against the closing of the national workshops, a state body responsible for providing work following the revolution of February 1848, demanded by the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy which s are exacerbating a growing number of unemployed. Victor Hugo, mayor of the 8th arrondissement of Paris and conservative deputy, is responsible for restoring order. He sends troops to his district. He disapproves of this bloody repression in which he had to participate.
