d’Hervilly / Victor Hugo”.

Ernest d’Hervilly (1839-1911) was a prolific French journalist and
writer in various genres and media. Although he was a friend of Victor
Hugo (since 1870) and Paul Verlaine, acquainted with most of the
participants in the fin-de-siècle Decandent Movement, almost all of his
own fiction and work for the theater was in a cheerfully humorous vein.

Provenance: Bertha Amalia Kleman, (1836-1926, daughter of Swedish
Publicist Lars Johan Hierta); by descent to her daughter Bertha
Nordenson (1857-1928).
