EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the esteemed French actor, Constant Coquelin (Aine), in the role of Alceste in Molière's "Les Précieuses Ridicules," staged in 1909 at Théâtre du Vaudeville in Paris. Coquelin, born in 1841, was a renowned actor of the Comédie-Française and a leading figure in the revival of Molière's works during the late 19th century. In this production, Coquelin donned an elegant costume adorned with a ribboned waistcoat, adding to the sophistication and refinement of his portrayal of Alceste, a character known for his pedantic and pretentious manners. The image captures a moment during a performance, with Coquelin's intense gaze and expressive facial features conveying the depth of emotion and nuance that he brought to the role. The photograph, taken in 1909, marks the end of Coquelin's long and illustrious career on the stage. His interpretation of Alceste in "Les Précieuses Ridicules" remains a testament to his remarkable talent and dedication to the works of Molière. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the history of French theatre and the legacy of one of its greatest actors.
