Better known as one of France’s pioneering 19th-century photographers, Carjat also worked as a caricaturist, producing lithographs of famous Parisian actors for theater journals. These portraits chargés (literally “loaded portraits”) may refer to Joseph Méry, a French journalist, poet, and playwright, and his brother Louis, also a writer. They join a renowned collection of caricatures by Claude Monet in the Art Institute.
