"Captivating French Actresses: Portraits of Sarah Bernhardt, Madame Rejane, and Julia Bartet" Step into the enchanting world of French theater with these captivating portraits of renowned actresses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In a colored engraving capturing her mesmerizing performance in Victorien Sardou's La Tosca, we see Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) embodying the tragic character with unparalleled grace at the Lyceum on July 9, 1888. Her expressive eyes convey a depth of emotion that captivates audiences to this day. Another black-and-white photo transports us back to c. 1872 as Bernhardt takes on the role of Marie de Neubourg in Ruy Blas by Victor Hugo (1802-85). The intensity emanating from her gaze reveals her mastery in bringing characters to life. Venturing across the Atlantic, a monochrome portrait showcases Bernhardt during her time in the United States. This image captures not only her beauty but also hints at her international acclaim as one of France's most celebrated actresses. Madame Rejane graces an illustration from The Yellow Book dated between 1893-94. With delicate lithography strokes, she exudes elegance and sophistication—a true embodiment of Parisian charm. Berthe Cerny's pencil sketch from June 1900 immortalizes yet another talented actress who left an indelible mark on French theater. Though lesser-known than some contemporaries, Cerny's portrayal reflects both talent and dedication. A colorful menu for "Sarah Bernhardt Day" held on December 9th, 1896 adds a touch of whimsy to our collection. It pays homage to this legendary actress while showcasing artistic flair through its vibrant lithographic design. Marie Dorval shines brightly in a lithograph depicting her role as Marion Delorme by Victor Hugo.
