EDITORS COMMENTS
Heinrich Laube (11 March 1806 – 22 October 1884) was a prolific German writer and theater director of the 19th century. Born in Berlin, Laube's literary career began in earnest in the 1830s, and he quickly gained a reputation as a versatile and influential figure in German literature and theater. This colored engraving, a facsimile reduced from the original by J. Sonnenleiter, offers a glimpse into the face and persona of this esteemed figure. Laube is depicted here in middle age, with a full beard and a formal suit, exuding an air of authority and sophistication. The engraving, published in The Universal History in 1883, captures the essence of Laube's contemporary European charm and theatrical prowess. As a dramatist, Laube's works were known for their wit, social commentary, and emotional depth. He wrote numerous plays, novels, and short stories that reflected the social and political issues of his time. His plays were particularly popular in the German-speaking world, and he is considered one of the most important figures in the development of German theater. Laube's contributions to German literature and theater extended beyond his own works. He was also an influential theater director, and he played a key role in the establishment of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. His innovative productions and adaptations of classic works helped to shape the direction of German theater for generations to come. This engraving serves as a testament to Laube's enduring legacy as a writer, theater director, and cultural icon of 19th-century Europe. It offers a glimpse into the face and persona of a man who left an indelible mark on German literature and theater, and whose influence continues to be felt to this day.
