About this work

An etched frontispiece for Victor Hugo's novel, published by Eugène Renduel, shows a seated man in a small cell-like space framed by an open door. Around him swarm dense crowds of spectators, skeletal faces and grotesque figures, with judges or officials seated at the top and a distant cityscape visible through a window. The title Le Dernier jour d'un condamné appears in capitals beneath the image, and the print is attributed to Célestin Nanteuil, dated 1833.
