EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fursy, a prominent figure in the late 19th century French cabaret scene. The man behind this enigmatic stage name is Henri Dreyfus, a multi-talented individual who excelled as a cabaret singer, director, and lyricist. Captured around 1893 by an unknown photographer, this portrait reveals Fursy's striking features and charismatic presence. With his well-groomed moustache and direct gaze, Fursy exudes confidence and charm. His profession as a vocalist is evident through his poised posture and the way he carries himself with an air of artistic flair. This image transports us back to the vibrant music halls of France during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing every contour on Fursy's face. It also evokes a sense of nostalgia for the Victorian age when cigarette cards like this one were popular collectibles. Acquired from the esteemed Felix Potin collection, this print offers us a glimpse into both French cultural history and the life of Henri Dreyfus himself. As we admire this piece of artistry frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about the stories that unfolded on stage under Fursy's direction or how his lyrics touched people's hearts. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to Henri Dreyfus' contribution to French arts while leaving room for our imagination to fill in the gaps about his fascinating life beyond what meets
