Third volume of the stereotype edition published by Crochard using Firmin Didot's process.
\nThe volume includes three tragedies (Pyrrhus, Catalina, the Triumvirate<\/em>) and several Academic speeches<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A copy of the great tragedienne Rachel F\u00e9lix decorated on the first plate with her stage name, Mlle Rachel.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nA veritable theatrical relic, this volume was then carefully preserved by two trag\u00e9diennes from the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Rachel's death on 3 January 1858, the work passed first into the hands of Marie-L\u00e9onide Charvin (1832-1891), whose stage name was chosen by Achille de Ricourt: \"When you play tragedy, you're not called Chavin. There was Rachel; it's a beautiful biblical name. Well, you'll be called Hagar.<\/em>\"
\nThe volume, given to a certain Egloff, includes this first enclosure autograph signed\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0:<\/p>\n

\"to Mr Egloff this study book which belonged to our Great Rachel is a beautiful artistic souvenir that I am happy to offer you Agar de la Com\u00e9die fran\u00e7aise 1879\".<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Agar was, along with Rachel and Sarah Bernhardt, one of the most famous tragic actresses of the late 19th century. First noticed at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l'Od\u00e9on in the role of Ph\u00e8dre<\/em> by Racine and then in Horace<\/em> by Corneille, Agn\u00e8s de M\u00e9ranie<\/em> by Fran\u00e7ois Ponsard and Medea<\/em> by Ernest Legouv\u00e9, she made her first appearance on the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise stage, again in the role of Ph\u00e8dre, on 12 May 1863. The mixed success of subsequent plays forced her to leave this prestigious stage; she returned to the Od\u00e9on to play the role of Silvia alongside Sarah Bernhardt in Le Passant<\/em>by her friend Fran\u00e7ois Copp\u00e9e. The triumph of the play again opened the doors to the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise, where on 6 June14 1869 she played the role of \u00c9milie in Cinna<\/em> by Corneille. Despite these successes, Agar was never made a member of the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise and was appointed a boarder again in

The volume then passed into the hands of Jeanne Louise Deluermoz dite Jeanne Delvair<\/strong> (1877-1949) and carries this second\u00a0autograph signed letter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"I am delighted to pass it on to you with my affection, my dear H\u00e9l\u00e8ne.
\nJeanne Delvair, honorary member of the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise 1936.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After winning a first prize in Tragedy at the Conservatoire, in Worms' class, she made her debut at the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise in 1899 in the role of Hermione (Andromache<\/em>). Her success in replacing Marthe Brand\u00e8s, who was ill, at short notice, in Homeland!<\/em> by Victorien Sardou, in 1901, gave her access to the greatest tragic roles. In 1910, Jeanne Delvair became the 349th member of the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise, where she acted in more than 25 productions until 1937.<\/p>\n

A charming copy in its period binding, with a succession of prestigious sources.<\/p>\n
