EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph captures Act II, Scene 10 from the renowned play "Le Reveillon" by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy. Set in the Palais-Royal in 1872, this scene showcases a delightful dinner party unfolding before our eyes. The talented artist Edmond Morin brings to life the extravagant world of high society with his expert use of color and detail. In this particular moment, we witness an amusing interaction between an obese footman and a waiter. The footman's rotund figure adds a touch of humor to the scene as he struggles to maintain his composure while serving the guests. The opulent table is adorned with sumptuous dishes, reflecting the lavishness of the occasion. This print holds historical significance beyond its artistic beauty. It inspired Johann Strauss to compose "Die Fledermaus" although Meilhac and Halevy deemed it too similar to their original work and prevented its performance until much later. Known as "La Chauve-Souris" in French, it was finally allowed on stage in 1961. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to experience both the grandeur and whimsy of this theatrical masterpiece. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to evoking emotions and sparking inspiration within us all.
