EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in the history of France - a representation at the theatre of the cardinal palace, now known as the royal palace. The play being performed is "Mirame" a heroic comedy written in 1641 by Cardinal Richelieu and Jean Desmarets de Saint-Sorlin, both esteemed French playwrights. The illustration, skillfully created by Maurice Leloir in 1901 for his work "Richelieu" transports us back to this grand occasion. The scene is filled with anticipation as actors take their positions on stage, ready to bring this remarkable piece to life. The opulent surroundings of the cardinal palace provide an exquisite backdrop for this theatrical spectacle.
