A lovely copy of Edmond Rostand's magnus opus, his six act drama 'L'Aiglon'. Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand was a French poet and dramatist renowned for his associated with the neo-romantic movement. 'L'Aiglon' is a play in six acts based on the life of Napoleon II, who was the son of Emperor Napoleon I and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for "eaglet" (a young eagle). 'L'Aiglon' was produced by the notable French stage actress Sarah Bernhardt at her own theatre, with her playing the primary protagonist, the Duke of Reichstadt. Indeed Rostand had specifically written the play for Bernhardt, and it became one of her signature roles. Featuring a booksellers label tipped to the front pastedown, 'Librairie Payot'.
