Cyrano de Bergerac (1898). Lucien Marie François Métivet (French, 1863-1932). Poster. Printer: Imp. Charles Verneau, Paris.Cyrano de Bergerac brandishes his sword to the “immense success” of the play written by Edmond Rostand, which loosely fictionalized the life of the real titular man. The entire play is written in verse, with rhyming couplets of twelve syllables per line, and is interestingly responsible for introducing the word “panache” into the English language. The play would later be adapted for stage, film, television, and opera. -- source link
