EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card features the renowned French composer, Ernest Reyer (1823-1909), and a scene from his most famous opera, "Salambo." The image, bathed in the soft glow of the moon, showcases a dramatic moment from the historical production. The shadowy figure of the composer, with his intense gaze, is depicted in the lower left corner, adding an intriguing personal touch to the print. The central focus of the scene is the enchanting Lady Salambo, who is depicted in the midst of a passionate dance, surrounded by the undulating forms of sinuous snakes. The crescent moon casts an ethereal light over the scene, heightening the sense of mystery and allure. Reyer's opera, "Salambo," is based on the novel of the same name by Félicité de Lamennais, and was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1894. The work was a groundbreaking success, and its fusion of exoticism, sensuality, and historical drama made it a landmark in the history of French opera. This evocative trade card, produced in 1909, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic legacy of Ernest Reyer and the enduring appeal of his masterpiece, "Salambo." The intricate details of the image, from the swirling shadows to the intricately patterned costumes, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the printmaker. This historical artifact is a must-have for any collection devoted to the history of opera or the works of Ernest Reyer.
