EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the renowned French musician and composer, Charles Gounod, in an unexpected setting: on a cigarillos collectors' card from the late 19th century. Born on June 17, 1818, in Paris, Gounod is best known for his operas, including "Faust," "Romeo et Juliette," and "Mireille." His innovative use of harmony and melody revolutionized the world of classical music. Despite his significant contributions to the art form, this photograph offers a glimpse into Gounod's personal life outside of his illustrious career. The image, taken around 1893, shows the composer in a more casual setting, holding a cigarillo, likely a favorite pastime during his leisure hours. The card, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating historical perspective on the life of this influential figure. Gounod's legacy continues to inspire musicians and audiences around the world, making this rare photograph a valuable addition to any collection of musical history. The card's design, featuring an elegant portrait of Gounod against a decorative background, highlights the importance of the arts in late 19th-century society. It also underscores the enduring appeal of collectibles, which continue to captivate and intrigue us today. In summary, this photograph of Charles Gounod on a cigarillo collectors' card offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the personal life of a legendary musician and composer. Its inclusion in the Mary Evans Picture Library collection underscores the importance of preserving historical artifacts and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
