Life and work
When Charles took up the fight against capital punishment in 1851 and found himself dismissed by the courts, he was jailed for 6 months for an article in L'Evénement. His father Victor Hugo gave a memorable speech in his defence on 10 June 1851.[1]
When Louis-Napoleon came into power in 1851, Charles-Victor joined his father in voluntary exile in the island of Jersey, together with August Vacquerie he photographed family and friends, intending to publish a volume titled Jersey et les îles de la Manche, with poetry and drawings by Victor-Marie, prose by Vacquerie, Charles-Victor, and his brother, François.
In 1868 he started along with his brother François-Victor the newspaper Le Rappel.
He died of a stroke while on his way to meet his father for dinner.[2]
