Description

Oblong 8vo. 1 p. Reflections on a corset which he had seen at a fashion boutique and which has now disappeared. This corset is now supposedly worn by some Faubourg girl, and he is touched by the notion that it now dresses the immaculate bosom of a virgin: "[.] Et c'est attendrissant de penser, n'est ce pas? | Qu'il contient à présent le sein pur d'une vierge, | Ouvrière en journée ou fille de Concierge, | Et que, se demandant: 'L'amour? Qu'est-ce que c'est?' | Un cœur battra bientôt sous ce petit corset". - Before joining the Académie Française, François Coppée was the archivist of the Comédie-Française. His efforts in connection with the Dreyfus affair resulted in his co-founding the French League of Human Rights. - In old collector's folder.
