The above engraving is by Félix Jasinski after an 1887 oil painting by Fantin-Latour.
Adolphe Jullien wrote the following Berlioz-related books in the last two decades of the 19th century:
Hector Berlioz, la vie et le combat, les œuvres (Paris, 1882)
Hector Berlioz, sa vie et ses œuvres (Paris, 1888)
Musique: Mélanges d’histoire et de critique musicale et
dramatique, (Paris, 1896). This book includes a chapter entitled “La critique et Berlioz”.
His 1888 book is the first substantial and documented biography of Berlioz. Jullien commissioned Fantin-Latour to create 12 original engravings inspired by Berlioz’s music, which are included in the book as separate individually protected special sheets.
