EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour print captures a scene from a production of "Ruy Blas" the renowned play by Victor Hugo. Taken by a talented French photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the essence of performing arts at its finest. The actors, dressed in exquisite costumes, are seen passionately engaged in their roles, wielding swords and immersing themselves into the tragic world created by Hugo. The photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of French theatre during that era. It portrays both men and women on stage, highlighting their exceptional acting skills and dedication to their craft. Mounet Sully and Marthe Brandes stand out as they embody their characters with remarkable intensity. As an illustration featured in Le Figaro Illustre's coverage of Comedie-Francaise theatre in Paris, this image is not only visually stunning but also holds historical significance. It transports us back to June 1897 when audiences were captivated by this powerful drama brought to life on stage. With its rich cultural heritage and literary brilliance, France has always been synonymous with great writers like Victor Hugo. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated playwrights and authors. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this extraordinary moment allows us to appreciate the artistry behind theatre productions while paying homage to those who have shaped our understanding of literature throughout history.
