EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), the legendary French stage and early film actress, is seen promoting her latest role in Edmond Rostand's play "L Aiglon," which premiered in Paris in 1900. Bernhardt, known for her extraordinary talent and magnetic stage presence, dons a military uniform for her portrayal of the title character, a young boy raised as a prince who later assumes the identity of the lost heir to the Austrian throne. The historical play, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, was a critical and commercial success, and Bernhardt's performance was widely acclaimed. The photograph, taken to publicize the production, captures the actress in a confident and regal pose, her piercing gaze fixed on an unseen audience, as she embodies the complex and enigmatic character of L Aiglon. With her innovative acting techniques and unforgettable performances, Bernhardt continued to captivate audiences throughout her long and illustrious career, cementing her place in the annals of theater history.
