Jean
Richepin (1849–1926). French poet, dramatist, and novelist Jean Richepin examined
the lower levels of society in sharp, bold language. As Émile Zola revolutionized
the novel by introducing naturalism in the late 19th century, Richepin did the
same for French poetry during that period. (www.student.britannica.com)
"Les
Contemporains Celebres, was published by Lefrevre-Utile (famed Biscuit producer)
containing portraits...some of Cappiello's finest caricatures of contemporary
celebrities" (Rennert, PAI-XXXVI, 584)
"Published
by Lefevre-Utile and Octave Beauchamp, Paris, and distributed by G. de Malherbe,
containing portraits, biographies, signed testimonials and some of Cappiello's
finest caricatures of contemporary celebrities. You might be asking yourself just
what do Sarah Bernhardt, Anatole France, Rejane, Granier, Massenet, Bartholdi
and the Queen of Madagascar have in common? The answer is quite simple: They all
love Lefevre-Utile biscuits, of course" (Rennert,
PAI-XL, 252) | |
