From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
Celebrities he photographed included his friend, the wildly successful French novelist and playwright Alexandre Dumas, the author of The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers . In 1874, Nadar loaned his studio to a group of artists so they could mount the first exhibition of Impressionist painting, which included works by Berthe Morisot. Nadar was an alias for Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, a prominent and well-connected photographer, caricaturist, and writer who photographed many of the cultural and political celebrities of the age.
