EDITORS COMMENTS
Sarah Bernhardt (1845-1923), the legendary French actress, is depicted in this photograph from the year 1900, as she takes on the role of the Duke of Reichstadt in Edmond Rostand's L'Aiglon. In this production, Bernhardt masterfully portrays the historical figure of Napoleon Bonaparte's illegitimate son, who is raised in disguise as a boy and later revealed to be the heir to the throne. Dressed in a grey military uniform, Bernhardt exudes an air of authority and contemplation, her piercing gaze fixed on an unseen point in the distance. She sits thoughtfully on a rock, her hands resting on her knees, and a sword lies at her feet. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding an aura of historical significance and romanticism to the image. Bernhardt's portrayal of the Duke of Reichstadt in L'Aiglon was a critical and commercial success, cementing her reputation as one of the greatest actresses of her time. Her ability to embody complex characters and bring them to life on stage made her a celebrity and an icon of the entertainment industry. This photograph is a testament to her talent, charisma, and the enduring power of live performance.
