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'. In a quarter crushed morocco binding, with imitation leather cloth boards. Externally excellent. Slight bumping to extremities. Very slightly rubbed to head and tail of spine, and raised bands to spine. Slight sunning to upper extremity of boards. Booksellers label tipped to front pastedown. Front hinge strained before half title page. Internally firmly bound. Pages age toned but clean throughout, with very light scattered spotting to first and last few pages. Tipped in fragment of tissue guard to title page, with ink inscription 'M. Payot/ 24'. Very Good Indeed.
