Emile Zola: restoration of an exceptional photographic collection

Unknown and prolific photographer, the famous writer has left behind many glass negatives. The Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine (MAP) has acquired all those that are still preserved, and is now working to enhance them. Interview with Mathilde Falguière, curator of heritage, head of the photography department of MAP.

We knew the novelist Zola, head of naturalism, as well as the journalist Zola and his involvement in the Dreyfus case. We now discover that the famous man of letters was also... a man of images. How to explain that this part of his work remained so long in the shadows?

Zola’s interest in photography remains, even today, relatively unknown to the general public, it is undeniable. But it is not a total discovery, as evidenced by the publication, in 1979, of the book Zola photographe written by the grandson of the novelist, François-Emile Zola, in collaboration with Massin. The Emile Zola collection has already been exhibited at the Jeu de Paume, on the site of the Château de Tours. Finally, several prints of the novelist entered the public collections: the Musée d'Orsay, in particular, acquired 45 photographs of Zola in 1987, including twenty-six portraits of the writer’s daughter, Denise.

In 2017, nearly 2,000 glass negatives made by the writer joined the national collections. What is the history of this photographic collection? What is in it?

Zola had no children with his legitimate wife but at the end of his life he met a moulder, Jeanne Rozerot, who became his mistress. She gave him two heirs and it was to her son, Jacques, that her entire photographic heritage came back: negatives, prints, albums, cameras… This fund was passed from generation to generation before finally being auctioned in December 2017. On this occasion, it was bought by the State for the benefit of the Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine (MAP).

The contents of the fonds are closely linked to Zola’s story with his mistress and children. Zola discovered photography when he met Jeanne Rozerot. He was then approaching his fifties and their story lasted until the death of the writer, at the age of 62. His practice is quite surprising when we try to imagine a priori what the photographic work of Emile Zola could be. In view of the realism of her literary work and the important documentation work that it requires, one might expect to discover an extremely rigorous photographic writing, marked by a documentary approach. The reality is quite different since we finally have a corpus that assimilates to that of a good amateur photographer of the end of the 19e century, with quite classic subjects such as self-portraits, portraits of his relatives or even photos of parties organized in Médan. These works, very intimate, make up the bulk of the fund. Then come small series in which Zola documents in a rather informal way his exile of several months in England following the publication of «J'accuse», his trip to Italy or his visit to the Universal Exhibition of 1900. But these photographs, once again, do not seem to be really integrated into his literary process – at least it is not the impression they give at first glance.

What can we say about Zola’s photographic practice?

Zola was really fond of photography, he had 10 cameras, three different labs, and he took pictures very regularly. We know that he paid attention to the framing and that he could make up to six different prints for the same negative, changing each time the process in order to vary the final result. Technical studies will be carried out soon to find out if the writer was a typical or atypical amateur of photography with regard to his time and his environment. The potential link between his literary work and his photographic work will also be explored in depth, in order to update possible hidden links.

Within the Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine, you supervise the conservation of these negatives. Could you come back with us on the different stages of their treatment by the photography department?

This ensemble, dated to the end of the 19th century, followed a classical process at the MAP. We first took the negatives out of their boxes, taking care to note the inscriptions on each box. Then we started to number them, which involved handling the glass plates one by one. It was there that we realized that about a quarter of them could not, in view of their great fragility, be handled without risk. We have isolated them, while the remaining 1500 plates have been dusted, numbered and then carefully sorted by format before going into digitization. On their return, the originals were put in store and their digital files were positive.

The digitized fonds was then described piece by piece: a dozen lines indicates, for each image, its subject, its date, its medium… These descriptions have been placed with the corresponding photographs, on the database «Memory» of the Ministry of Culture, accessible to all.

How could this fund be valued in the future? What methods of dissemination are envisaged?

Our primary mission is to make these images accessible to as many people as possible through our database. This company of immediate valorization constitutes our core business because we are a center of archives, we do not have an exhibition room.

There are, however, other ways of publicizing the fund, of informing its history. Thus, a colloquium will be organized at the end of the year with the research laboratory of the CNRS to study the seriality of Zola’s photographic and literary work. If partnerships are put in place, we may also consider holding exhibitions or books - as was done for the Willy Ronis fund, for example. However, MAP does not have a monopoly on these initiatives, and it is also our vocation to allow other people to take hold of these images by coming to propose their own projects.



Zola is known to have been an inspiration to Christopher Hitchens as found in his book Letters to a Young Contrarian (2001).


'The Assommoir' is a pivotal novel in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. In it he lays bare the terrible poverty of the Parisian underclass, living in a world of squalor and casual violence.
