Sobre este artículo
Paris: Meissonier and Heugel, [ca. 1839-42]. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Disbound upright folio. 13.5 x 10 inches (34.5 x 25 cm). Unpaginated bifolium; content to fol. 1v and 2 r.. [PN] M.H. No. 52. Decorative title with engraving by "Benjamin," depicting two feasting men at a table. Lithographed by Guillet. Slightly damp stained.
The work is a short comic scene (soliloquy). The performer impersonates an English gentleman traveling to France for the sole purpose of gluttony. There are a prelude for piano and four couplets, with spoken text in between. The text is in French, with occasional English words and mispronunciations of French thrown in.
Amédée de Beauplan (whose full name was Amédée Louis Joseph Rousseau de Beauplan) was the son of a military officer of the ancient régime who was executed by guillotine in 1794. He achieved fame as a playwright, composer, and painter. He wrote both text and music for the present work. The original performer, Chausedaigues, whose name appears twice in the edition (on title and heed of first page of music) remains enigmatic. The present work appears as an illustration in Hannah Scott's "Balzac, England, and the 'café chantant'" (L'Année Balzacienne V. 20 #1, 2019), in which she writes that "In the comic repertoire of the "café chantant," the Englishman was a hugely popular character type, a familiar laughing stock—and this stereotypical Englishman would have been in the back of the minds of Balzac's readership and informed their understanding of what they read about English characters in the literature."
