In 1797 a ten-volume novel came out of Paris claiming to be printed "En Hollande". It wasn't. The imprint was a lie for the censor, the author's name was nowhere on it, and whoever cut its hundred copper plates left no name either. The book was La Nouvelle Justine, suivie de l'Histoire de Juliette, and the police knew exactly whose it was.
On 6 March 1801 they walked into his publisher's shop, seized the copies and arrested Donatien Alphonse François, marquis de Sade, on Napoleon's order. No trial. Two years later a prefect wrote him up for "démence libertine" and sent him to the Charenton asylum, where he staged plays with the inmates for an audience of Paris society until he died there in 1814. Under the king, the Revolution and the Emperor, he spent some 32 years locked up.
The books ended up in the Enfer, the shelf the Bibliothèque nationale kept locked. His name became a diagnosis in 1886. France let him be printed in the open only after the Pauvert trial closed in 1958, and in 1990 he entered the Pléiade, next to the classics.
The plates outlived all of it. This is their hand, and the same rooms as a photograph.

Libertine · Marquis de Sade, 1797 - Krea/MOSS

A tableau vivant is a picture staged with living people. These are the plates staged: the same rooms, photographed. Sade's 1797 as a still from a period film: candle and window light, film grain, powdered hair, striped canopy beds, and company that undresses.
