EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the theatrical comedy "Les Femmes Savantes" (The Learned Ladies) by Jean Baptiste de Moliere. The character depicted here is Chrysale, played by L Wolff in 1868. Set in the 17th century, this play satirizes the intellectual pretensions of women during that time. Chrysale stands tall and confident in his full-length costume, showcasing the fashion of the era. He wears breeches or britches, which were popular men's clothing at that time. In one hand, he holds a cane, adding to his distinguished appearance. The engraving beautifully captures every detail of Chrysale's attire and demeanor. From his carefully styled hair to his expressive face, it is evident that L Wolff fully embodies this character on stage. This particular print comes from "Oeuvres Completes De Moliere" (Complete Works of Moliere), with an introduction by Jules Janin. Published in Paris in 1868 by F. de P Mellado et Cie. , it showcases Edmond Aime Florentin Geffroy's artistic talent as an engraver. As we admire this image today, we are transported back to both the 19th century when it was printed and the 17th-century setting of Moliere's play. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity and cultural significance of classic theater works like "Les Femmes Savantes. "
