EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Venzel, or Elisa Wenzel, brilliantly portrays the title role in Victor Hugo's historical tragedy "Saul," at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris during the 1822-1823 season. In this hand-colored copperplate engraving from Charles Malo's Almanach des Spectacles, Mlle. Venzel is depicted as the biblical King David, clad in a richly textured robe and adorned with a crown. Surrounded by an ensemble of actors, including Jean Baptiste Firmin as Benjamin, Melchior, and Pauvre Famille, this scene represents a poignant moment from the melodrama, as David's anguish and despair are palpable. The stage is set with intricate details, including a grand throne, ornate columns, and a backdrop of a serene landscape. The engraving captures the essence of the theatrical performance, transporting viewers back to the 19th century French theater scene. This evocative image, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the captivating power of live theater and the extraordinary talent of Mlle. Venzel as David in Saul.
