Edmond Scherer, without speaking of the innumerable notes and criticisms
which have appeared on Hugo and his work in daily papers and periodicals
both in France and in foreign countries.
V.
PORTRAITS.
These are extremely numerous, but previously to 1851, that is, before
Hugo left France, they all represent him as a clean-shaven man. After
his exile Hugo grew a beard, hence the alteration so noticeable in the
portraits subsequent to 1851.
The portrait chosen represents Hugo in his youth, at the time of the
first appearance of _Notre-Dame de Paris_.
