EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print "An Ordeal for an Author, reading a Play to the recently abolished 'Comite de Lecture' of the Comedie Francaise" could be as follows: This lithograph captures a tense moment in the literary world of 19th century France. The scene depicts an author anxiously reading his play to the recently abolished "Comite de Lecture" (Reading Committee) of the prestigious Comedie Francaise. Seated around a table filled with papers and manuscripts, notable figures such as M. Truffier, M. Coquelin, M. Mounet Sully, and others listen intently while chairs are arranged in anticipation of their judgment. The author's fate hangs in balance as he faces this formidable panel known for its discerning taste. Published on November 2nd, 1901, this illustration originally appeared in The Graphic magazine and offers a glimpse into the inner workings of French theater during that time period. The artist Georges Bertin Scott masterfully captures both anxiety and hope on the face of our protagonist as he reads aloud his work to these influential individuals who hold power over his future success or failure. This engraving not only showcases Scott's talent but also provides us with a window into European literature and theater history. It serves as a reminder that even renowned authors faced challenges when presenting their work to critical audiences like the Comedie Francaise's Reading Committee.
