Handsomely bound by Stikena and Co. in full grained brown morocco lettered gilt at the spine with five gilt lined raised bands, top edge gilt and inner gilt dentelles. Original publisher's wraps bound in. L'Aiglon is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) based on the life of Napoleon's son, Napoleon II of France, Duke of Reichstadt. The title comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for 'eaglet' (a young eagle). The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere in 1900 at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt. In October of the same year, the play in an English translation by Louis N. Parker, premiered at New York's Knickerbocker Theatre with Maude Adams in the title role. Its first performance in London was at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1901, with Bernhardt again as the Duke of Reichstadt. Rostand had written L'Aiglon specifically for Bernhardt, and it became one of her signature roles. Rostand was a French poet and dramatist. He is associated with neo-romanticism, and is best known for his play Cyrano de Bergerac. Signed presentation from the author on the half title page to the French writer and critic, Ferdinand Brunetire (1849Ð1906), "hommage de haute admiration, Edmond Rostand." Faint surface wear, slight fading at spine and slight rubbing at spine, otherwise sound, clean, very good.
