ref. 148780GONCOURT Edmond de. Portrait for La Galerie Contemporaine by Nadar. Woodburytype print with artist's information printed on mount matted and framed in polished dark wood. Paris: Nadar ND. A visually arresting portrait of Edmond de Goncourt by famed portrait photographer Nadar Gaspard-Felix Tournachon 1820-1910. "Nadar's notoriety in photography came after successful careers first in writing and publishing and then in caricature. Nadar's turn to portrait photography appears to be a natural progression from his work in caricature." "Galerie Contemporaine stands out due to its ambitious scope as well as for the quality of the photographic imagery it contained. Underpinned by a certain patriotic sentiment and a more sophisticated approach to celebrity the subtitle Litteraire Artistique declares the work's focus of interest to be high art. In fact Galerie Contemporaine evolved into the most impressive set of celebrity portraits published in nineteenth-century France forming a vital visual record of the leading figures who shaped public life in science and politics as well as the arts during the Second Empire and the emergent Third Republic."

1864ref. 182678Various publishers in or near Brussels: c. 1864. The Brussels ballooning buzz Scarce material capturing the excitement generated by the launch of Le Géant 6000 cubic metres in size and equipped with a huge cabin to celebrate Belgian National Day. As much a publicist as an aviator Nadar turned the event into an epic spectacle the crowds teeming behind barriers. He shared a passion for the skies with Jules Verne who drew on Nadar's exploits for his writings. Born Gaspard-Félix Tournachon Nadar 1820-1910 was also a pioneering photographer taking some of the earliest aerial shots of Paris. Le Géant was commissioned from the balloonist Eugène Goddard in 1863 and was first launched in Paris in October of the same year in front of 80000 people. A second launch drew half a million people setting the stage for the scenes in Brussels. Among those struck by the sight was Jules Verne who had established Societe d'aviation with Nadar in 1862. Verne based Five Weeks in a Balloon 1863 on Le Géant and Nadar appeared as the character Michael Ardan in Verne's From the Earth to the Moon 1865. The publications give information on the balloonist's background and his visit their excitable tone sometimes crossing over into satire. a Le Ballon Le Géant et Nadar Pérégrinations Accidents Notices biographiques etc. etc. Brussels: P.

1891ref. 92258Paris: Paul Nadar 1891. Fine. Paul Nadar Paris s. d. 1891 11 x 16.5 cm format carte de cabinet Original albumen print photograph of Auguste Rodin cabinet card format mounted on stiff card. Nadar's signature in red in the lower margin. Advertisements in red on the verso. A small white area in the upper left margin with a few imperfections from the glass plate in the same area not affecting the portrait. Foxing to the margins. Iconic portrait of the sculptor with close-cropped hair and pince-nez staring fixedly into the lens. This snapshot gathers every hallmark of the celebrated ""style Nadar"" whose stark unadorned clarity establishes his gallery of portraits as one of the most compelling of the nineteenth century. The Nadar collection at the Bibliothèque nationale de France holds the few surviving trial prints of the Rodin portraits the present portrait appears under number 9115 B of volume 39. Rodin appears to have sat for the photographer only once on which occasion four exposures were taken in total. The sitting is usually dated to 1891 by which time Félix Nadar had retired from active business to devote himself to his aeronautical projects though he is known to have continued sporadically producing portraits of established artists and literary figures. This is far removed from the ""commercial"" style often attributed to his son Paul who took over the running of the studio in 1886. This ""spartiate"" approach to use Ulrich Keller's expression corresponds far more closely to Félix's own manner. The Musée Rodin which holds a print of this portrait attributes the negative to him: a letter from Rodin sent to the Ermitage de Sénart where Félix was then residing confirms this attribution: ""et puis des remerciements encore pour autres choses des portraits de votre serviteur"" lettre du 18 septembre 1892. The present print dates from the late 1920s as indicated by the studio stamp the studio then being located in the former Léon Bonnat atelier at 48 rue Bassano. In reference to Félix's earlier profession the stamp on the print reads ""Panthéon Nadar"" after the celebrated gallery of hundreds of celebrity caricatures assembled into a panoramic composition the first sheet of which Nadar published in 1854. He had planned to issue four lithographed sheets each presenting a serpentine procession of a thousand figures drawn from the ranks of noted ""gens de lettres auteurs dramatiques peintres et sculpteurs musiciens."" It was this aborted titanic undertaking that turned him toward photography in which he would become one of the most gifted practitioners of the nineteenth century. Sculptor and photographer also collaborated during this same period on a major undertaking: when Rodin received the commission for a monument to Balzac in 1891 Nadar placed his entire archive at his disposal: most notably the sole surviving daguerreotype portrait of Balzac taken by Bisson in 1842 which the sculptor regarded as the ""seule effigie fidèle et vraiment ressemblante de l'écrivain."" The letter quoted above bears witness to a further project as well for a Baudelaire portrait. A superb portrait of the master of sculpture by the master of nineteenth-century photography.
