Lot Essay

As Patrick Offenstadt observes, the scene is set in front of the Café Américain. On the Morris column, one can make out Passe; this is the playbill for Le Passé, a comedy by M. Porto-Riche which premiered on December 30, 1897 at the Odéon. Other playbills advertise the premiere on 12 November 1897 of Massenet's comic opera Sapho (based on Alphonse Daudet's novel of that name) and Fragson, a French singer (real name Léon Pot), who appeared at the Folies-Bergère.
