Description
Translation in English of text title: Inventory at a widower's. My God, gentlemen, I must really apologize! Since the death of my poor wife I was so much in pain, so much in pain! My friends did everything possible to distract me . . . Yesterday they invited me for dinner and got me drunk, they even made me put on this costume . . .
ALBUM. 1840/41 an “Album Robert Macaire 2ème série” was published containing all 20 prints of this series. The editors were Philipon and Aubert.
VERY was a restaurant which was founded in 1805 and located close to the Palais-Royal. It was one of the best restaurants for the bourgeois elite in Paris. In 1892 it was blown up by anarchists.
Robert Macaire may seem to be a realistic figure, however one should remember that in reality he is an artificial personality, created in 1823 by Benjamin Antier for his play „ L’Auberge des Adrets“. The breakthrough came in 1834, when Frédéric Lemaitre used the names of Macaire and his somewhat simple partner Serres-Bertrand for his various comedies in Paris. The figure of Macaire goes back as far as 1371, when - as the legend goes - Aubri de Montdidier, a nobleman from the court of Charles V was assassinated by Macaire. The murder was vindicated by his dog, the only witness of the assassination. A duel between the dog and Macaire, who was armed with a cudgel, should settle the case. The dog killed Macaire, who confessed the murder before he died. Macaire personified the clever business man, who was willing at any time to throw moral and ethical principles overboard for a quick buck. His personality fitted exactly to the period so well described by Alexis de Tocqueville: self-enrichment at all levels and a Government run on shareholders principles. Short-selling, pyramid systems, investments in Californian gold mines and IPOs of non existent companies were the name of the game. Thanks to Macaire and Bertrand, all the little tricks were demonstrated in detail to the public.
