ROBAUDI, Alcide Théophile (1850-1928) et Alfred de MUSSET (1810-1857)
Lorenzaccio. Drame en cinq actes. Aquarelles de A. Robaudi. Paris: Lahure pour Paul Hébert, 1897.
Superbe unicum, orné de 27 aquarelles originales, dans une reliure de Charles Meunier, aux provenances prestigieuses : Sarah Bernhardt et Raphaël Esmerian. Malgré l'indication sur le titre ("imprimé pour monsieur Hebert") cet exemplaire aurait été spécialement produit et enluminé pour la grande Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), dont le portrait orne le faux-titre. Bénézit note à ce propos : "en 1897, [Robaudi] a spécialement illustré de vingt-sept aquarelles originales l'exemplaire unique d'une version remaniée de Lorenzaccio de Musset, imprimé pour Sarah Bernhardt".

Publié en 1834, ce n'est qu'en 1896 que Lorenzaccio fut joué pour la première fois par Sarah Bernhardt. D'abord regardée comme un ersatz du Hamlet de Shakespeare, cette pièce est aujourd'hui considérée comme un chef-d'oeuvre incontesté du théâtre francais.

Grand in-8 (297 x 215 mm). Exemplaire unique (indication au verso du faux-titre), sur papier Whatman. 27 aquarelles originales de Robaudi, pour la plupart signées ou monogrammées.
Reliure signée de Charles Meunier, datée 1913 : maroquin noisette, plats encadrés d’un listel de maroquin brun à marbrures, dans les coins pièce de maroquin rouge mosaïquée de maroquin bleu et ornée de trois fleurs de lys, dos à nerfs orné et mosaïqué de listels, doublures de maroquin fauve ornées d'une bordure dorée évoquant les reliures du XVIe siècle et orné d'un décor de cercles entrecroisés avec en chaque centre une fleur de lys mosaïquée, gardes de soie moirée vert-jaune, tranches dorées sur témoins, chemise et étui.
Provenance : Sarah Bernhardt -- Raphaël Esmerian (cinquième partie, lot n°107).

An attractive unicum, supposedly illuminated for Sarah Bernhardt, from the collection of Raphaël Esmerian. The copy is ornate with 27 original watercolours by Robaudi, most of them signed, and sports an inlaid binding by Charles Meunier.
