EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the young French actor, Ernest Coquelin Cadet, in the role of the cunning and manipulative diplomat, Talleyrand, from the play "Plus que reine" (More Than a Queen) in 1899. Coquelin Cadet, who was born in 1848, was a renowned actor of the Comédie-Française, the national theater company of France. In this image, he dons a striking blue and cream costume adorned with intricate gold detailing, accessorized with a tall, feathered hat. The expression on his face conveys a sense of intense focus and calculation, perfectly embodying the complex character of Talleyrand. Talleyrand, a historical figure who lived from 1754 to 1838, was a prominent French statesman and diplomat who served under various monarchs, including King Louis XVI and Napoleon Bonaparte. He was known for his political acumen and ability to navigate the treacherous waters of French politics, making him a fascinating character to portray on stage. Coquelin Cadet's portrayal of Talleyrand was undoubtedly a highlight of his career, and this photograph provides a glimpse into the magic of the theater during the late 19th century. The rich colors and intricate details of his costume, combined with the intensity of his gaze, transport us back in time to a world of grand performances and captivating storytelling.
