Jules Verne Images

Photos, Carte de Visite (CDV), Postcards, Drawings, Paintings A good source of Jules Verne images, and online Book/manuscript images is here (Europeana.eu) In Chronological order
1850 Age=22		Ed Note: Volker Dehs confirms to me that this is Jules Verne.

1852 Age=24		There are various dates given for this photo on the internet. 1850 or 1852 or 1854. If the above IS 1850, then this is after. I have read that due to the ongoing treatment for Jules partial facial paralysis, he had no beard to facilitate the electrical treatments! Jules Verne "... had four episodes of left facial paralysis aged 22–36 years" (1850 - 1864) Lancet article reference here!

around 1865ish Age=33	Carte de Visite (CDV) Andrew Nash Collection ©2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Copyright Andrew Nash Ed Note: Volker Dehs, thinks this image is later than 1861, so we'll go with the MOMA image at 1865-1875! Collection Andrew Nash	This CDV/Carte de Visite/Photo, has no marking on it regarding the subject or the photographer. To me it is obvious that it is Jules Verne. The suit, the tie, the beard, the hairline, the pose, the look. It IS Jules Verne. I now finally have my proof. This cdv/photo has 3 mates. 1) in the collection of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Their image is more faded, and the vignette that has been made of Verne, shows less jacket! The links to the card are: Jules Verne-BNF-Gallica-Bertall-et-Cie_Front Jules Verne-BNF-Gallica-Bertall-et-Cie_Back 2) in the collection of MOMA (Museum of Modern Art, New York) Their image fades out like this one, but is NOT in an OVAL vignette The link to this card is: Jules Verne-MOMA-Bertrall-et-Cie Object No: 178.1982.51 3) in a private collection, and it was used on the cover of; Dans le sillage de Jules Verne ... ...au Crotoy Book: Collection Andrew Nash I do NOT know which collector owns that image.	The matching Image in the Bibliothèque nationale de France indicates that the photo/cdv is by: Bertall & Cie Phot On the back is written, Jules Verne 39 It has a stamp that reads: Lassailly Freres Geographe-Editeurs Comptoir Geographique, 65 Rue Richelieu. And 2 other fainter stamps: Photographie Ancienne Rue de la Madeleine Societe de Goegraphie Paris (this last stamp is on many items that the BNF has, ie. is also on a 20k manuscript) Ed note: Charles Lassailly, directeur du Comptoir geographique Arthur Lassailly, directeur-adjoint du Comptoir geographique

In the below 1876 image, note the collar of Verne's jacket is scallop shaped, and remains thin down to the place where the jacket overlaps. (i.e. at the level of the bowtie, the collar of the jacket dips in, and when it bumps back out, it is thinner than the collar above. (compare with the below 1879 image where the collar of the jacket gets wider)
1876 Age=48	Postcard	Postcard Tinted version of above:
In the above 1876 image, note the collar of Verne's jacket is scallop shaped, and remains thin down to the place where the jacket overlaps. (i.e. at the level of the bowtie, the collar of the jacket dips in, and when it bumps back out, it is thinner than the collar above. These identifying points help distinguish from the 1879 photos below, where the collar of the jacket is wider.
	Same image, turned into an engraving. The original of the engraving was modified by Andrew Nash to isolate Verne's head, and was subsequently used by the North American Jules Verne Society, Inc.

1876 Age=48	Postcard: bought from Estonia (appears to be from same sitting (1876) as above, though he is turned more to the left, and the jacket collar is thin) Collection Andrew Nash	Engraving from book sur terre et sur mer, 1876 (again, seems to be based on the same sitting)
In the below set of images the edge of Verne's collar can be seen under the bow tie, AND the collar of the jacket gets wider at the level of the bowtie.
around 1879 Age=51	My guess here is pre-1879 This particular image is taken from the book: Men of Mark - 1876-1883 Published by: Lock and Whitfield photo by Adam Salomon (click image for larger view) Collection Andrew Nash	The above image from a book published in 1879, in Krisitania, Norway by P. T. Mallings Boghandels Forlag. This image is identical, just reversed when printed. I say reversed, because the pin that should be in Verne's left lapel appears in his right lapel in the books image (left side of image)! Collection Andrew Nash
