EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Christian, a renowned French singer, in his role as King Vlan in the play "Le voyage dans la lune" by Jacques Offenbach. The image, featured on the cover of "L'Eclipse" magazine on November 14,1875, transports us back to Paris during a time when theater and music reigned supreme. Christian's portrait exudes charisma and theatricality. Dressed in regal attire with an ornate crown atop his head, he embodies the grandeur and power befitting a king. His expressive face reveals both confidence and vulnerability, hinting at the complexity of his character portrayal. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is Andre Gill (1840-1885), whose talent for capturing personalities through caricature shines through in this piece. Gill masterfully combines elements of humor with artistic skill to create a unique representation of Christian's performance as King Vlan. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported into the world of 19th-century French theater. We can almost hear Christian's melodic voice filling the air as he brings life to Offenbach's whimsical tale. This print serves as a testament to Christian's artistry and legacy within French music history. Leonard de Selva expertly preserves this moment from long ago through his photography skills, allowing us to appreciate not only Christian but also the rich cultural heritage that surrounds him. It is an exquisite addition to any
