Victor Forbin (Paris, 1864 - Clamart, 1947) was a journalist, explorer, and writer during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His articles and travel narratives were published in the daily press in specialized periodicals. We encounter his work in journals such as Excelsior, the Journal des Voyages, the Revue des deux mondes, L’Illustration, and Nature. He wrote under his name, Victor Forbin, but also several pseudonyms such as Jacques Dizier and Claude Albaret. His career is distinguished from the writers alongside whom he was published by his role as an iconographer, which began just after his journalistic debut. In this role, he provided the editorial offices with which he worked with images, demonstrating another aspect of the fabrication of information in the era of mass culture. The photographs that came into his possession were used to illustrate his articles as well as those of other authors.
