ANCIENT PHOTO of Alexandre DUMAS (1802-1870) and MENKEN. Photo by A. LIEBERT & Cie, Paris (American photograph, 13 Boulevard des Capucines, Paris at the corner of Rue de la Paix). 19th century. In March 1867, Alphonse Liébert photographs Alexandre Dumas père with his mistress, Adah Isaacs Menken. In April 1867, Dumas sued Alphonse Liébert, before the first chamber in Paris, and demanded the withdrawal of the photographs where he appeared with Menken. The case was dismissed on May 3, but the verdict was overturned on appeal on May 25: after the proposal to buy back the photographs (for the sum of 100 Francs), the photographs of him with Menken were forbidden to be sold (source Wikipedia). 10,5 x 6,3 cm.
