Provenance: In each book stamped on front free endpaper lower left Bound especially for Raphael Weill Co. Inc. San Francisco and The White House TWH stamp adhered to some rear endpapers. Frenchman Raphael Weill one of SF's merchant princes built a grand store The White House TWH for a booming city with an eager clientele. TWH was the first department store in San Francisco; it opened in 1854 and closed in 1965 located at Post and Grant. In the 19th century most bookshop sales in the US took place in departments of major department stores like TWH. Wholly plausible the book collection was acquired in the mid 19th century by a previous owner on a pleasure trip downtown SF which meant dressing up--hats gloves and stockings required. TWH was a place to be seen like its competitor The City of Paris and was known for its French atmosphere. The purveyor defined good taste and satisfied desires for anything French. Certainly paints a colorful picture of the TWH shopping experience when this fine book set was acquired at TWH's book department located on the main selling floor of the grand store. About the author and works: was a French dramatist of the period just before World War I whose plays provide a final very belated example of Romantic drama in France. Rostand s name is indissolubly linked with that of his most popular and enduring play Cyrano de Bergerac not included. First performed in Paris in 1897 with the famous actor Constant Coquelin playing the lead Cyrano made a great impression in France and all over Europe and the United States. Rostand wrote a good deal for the theatre: Les Romanesques included produced 21 May 1894 was a great success and the start of his career as a dramatist. This play was adapted to the 1960 musical comedy The Fantasticks a long running American musical. L Aiglon included stands as his second most famous play a Napoleonic history about the unhappy life of the Duke of Reichstadt son of Napoleon I and Marie Louise surveilled by agents of Metternich at the Schonbrunn Palace. Produced 15 March 1900 by Sarah Bernhardt at her own theatre she performed the trouser role of the Duke of Reichstadt. La Samaritaine included produced 14 April 1897 was a play created for Sarah Bernhardt at her request due the not particularly successful La Princesse Lointaine not included a former play & role created for Bernhardt. La Samaritaine is a Biblical drama adapted from the gospel story of the woman of Samaria. This play was more succesful and became part of Bernhardt s repertoire. Chantecler included produced February 1910 was awaited with an interest enhanced by considerable delay in the production which affected the enthusiasm of its reception. Nor did the Parisian audience enjoy the caricature of salon life in the third act. The anticipated performance of Constant Coquelin disappointed theatre goers due the actors untimely death during rehearsals. Chantecler is a cockerel and the characters are birds and animals. This was the great play of Rostand's maturity expressing Rostand's own deepest feelings as a poet and idealist.
