ORIGINAL EDITION of this famous play from which Cyrano's tirade of the noses is taken (Act I, Scene IV).
On December 28, 1897, Rostand's heroic comedy became the greatest theatrical success since Hernani. An unprecedented success: forty encores! The play will be played 400 times until 1900 and Coquelin, introduced to the author the previous year by Sarah Bernhardt, will take the role until his death, or 950 times. Rostand was elected to the French Academy in 1901: he was received at the age of 33, the youngest academician at the time.
Very nice condition.
