Figure 1.--Here we see Jeanne and Georges with their grandfather. I'm not sure when the portrait was taken, but would guess about 1875. The children look to be about 7-8 years old.

There are several images with the grand children, some taken while Hugo was still in exile on Gernsey. Hugo's first grandson George was born March 31, 1867. There was also Jeanne. We do not yet know which of Hugo's children the grandchildren were or anything about their lives. Available photographiv images suggest that they wre close to their grandfather and provide some information on how they were dressed. Here we see Jeanne and Georges with their grandfather. I'm not sure when the portrait was taken, but would guess about 1875. The children look to be about 7-8 years old. Georges wears a knicker suit with a large (but not an Eton) collar and a floppy bow.
