The Artine Artinian Literary File consists of 632 pictures, the bulk of which are
photographic prints of prominent 19th-century individuals contained in a published
collector's album. Artinian was a distinguished professor of French literature whose
interests as both scholar and collector focused on Guy de Maupassant. The loose prints
include both portraits of Maupassant and views of monuments to him in Rouen and Paris.
There
are also portraits of Maupassant's valet, François Tassart, and views of various places
in
France, including the vicinity of Etretat, and in Portofino, Italy. An index at the
end of
this guide lists photographers whose work is featured in this file. Further descriptions
of
some items may be available in a card catalog in the repository.
This file forms a part of the Literary Files Photography Collection that is comprised
of photographs and
albums withdrawn from the libraries and/or papers of literary figures, and generally
includes portraits and images collected by or of those figures.
