EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of postcards depicting the iconic tale of Cyrano de Bergerac, Roxanne, and the tragic death of Christian. Created around 1900 by an anonymous French School artist, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this timeless story. Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac, a renowned French satirist and dramatist from the 17th century, serves as the inspiration for Edmond Rostand's famous play. The image portrays Cyrano with his distinctively prominent nose, a symbol of his wit and intelligence. Alongside him stands Roxanne, the object of his unrequited love. In one postcard scene, we witness Cyrano reading poetry to Roxanne in an attempt to win her heart. His eloquence is juxtaposed with another card that depicts Christian's untimely demise on the battlefield. This heartbreaking moment reveals deception and tragedy within their complex love triangle. The attention to detail in these postcards is remarkable; they vividly capture not only the emotional depth but also depict wounds and injuries suffered by characters throughout their journey. It offers a glimpse into c17th France where honor was valued above all else. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of vintage charm at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this print from eArchives Charmet evokes nostalgia while immortalizing this beloved literary masterpiece. A true testament to human emotions such as love, sacrifice, and loss - it reminds us
