Maude Ewing Adams Kiskadden November 11 1872 - July 17 1953 known professionally as Maude Adams was an American actress who achieved her greatest success as Peter Pan first playing the role in the 1905 Broadway production of Peter Pan; or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. Adams's personality appealed to a large audience and helped her become the most successful and highest-paid performer of her day. L'Aiglon ran for 73 performances in 1900 in New York. Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand; 1 April 1868 - 2 December 1918 was a French poet and dramatist. He is associated with neo-romanticism and is known best for his play Cyrano de Bergerac. Another of Rostand's works Les Romanesques was adapted to the musical comedy The Fantasticks. L'Aiglon is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand 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. The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere on 15 March 1900 at the Théàtre Sarah Bernhardt. In October of the same year the play in an English translation by Louis N. Parker premiered at New York's Knickerbocker Theatre with Maude Adams in the title role. Its first performance in London was at His Majesty's Theatre in 1901 with Bernhardt again playing the leading role. Rostand had written L'Aiglon specifically for Bernhardt and it became one of her signature roles. R. H. Russell hardcover

Front pastedown with morocco bookplate of Robert Hoe. Lower corners a bit bumped tail edge of lower board with shallow one-inch dent occasional paper flaws or discoloration to edges of leaves but an excellent copy the interior clean and fresh and the binding lustrous.<br/> <br/> This is a luxurious illustrated edition of Rostand's classic work offered in a sumptuous binding done by the Club Bindery for its co-founder and manager Robert Hoe. Rostand's influential and enduringly popular 1897 verse play in five acts--sometimes referred to colloquially as the "Romance of the Nose"--is loosely based upon the real-life story of the French author and duelist Cyrano de Bergerac 1619-55 who was famous for having a prodigious proboscis. A theatrical triumph from its opening night the play focuses on the eloquent Cyrano's unrequited love for the comely Roxanne whom he must court as secret proxy for a friend of handsome visage but wooden tongue. Rostand 1868-1918 wrote a number of successful plays often like "Cyrano" based on figures from French history. The present beautiful large-format copy was originally owned by Robert Hoe a founder of the Grolier Club and one of the world's great book collectors. After Grolier was established in 1884 it soon became apparent that the country's few established hand binders were overtaxed in providing repairs and rebinding for the club members' rapidly accumulating acquisitions. As a consequence in 1895 Grolier members along with Edwin Holden and other wealthy collectors established the Club Bindery in order to attract European craftsmen to provide close to home fine quality binding work rivalling what was available abroad. The Club Bindery was in operation until 1909 with Hoe being its manager and most important client. It provided bindings that tended to be traditional in style--though frequently with elaborate decoration--and that lived up to its patrons' expectations in terms of excellence. The first members of the staff of the Club Bindery were the Englishmen R. W. Smith and Frank Mansell. They were subsequently joined by a number of French binders chief among them being Leon Maillard who had worked previously for Cuzin Gruel and Marius-Michel and whose precise and intricate finishing is impressively demonstrated on our binding here. It is said by Beverly Chew that Hoe 1839-1911 had a collection that was "the finest America has ever contained." He acquired illuminated manuscripts early printing he owned a Gutenberg Bible on paper and one on vellum fine bindings French and English literature and Americana and when his library was sold in 1911-12 it fetched nearly $2 million a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later. The present volume represents the fine level of aesthetic achievement typical of the bindery and it is especially impressive because of its significant dimensions. Armand Magnier unknown
