EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the character of Argan, the hypochondriac main character in "Le Malade Imaginaire" (The Imaginary Invalid), a comedie-ballet by Jean Baptiste de Moliere. Created in 1868 by L Wolff, this engraving showcases the 17th-century costume and style of France. The image is taken from "Oeuvres Completes De Moliere", a collection of Moliere's complete works with an introduction by Jules Janin. Argan, portrayed here by Edmond Aime Florentin Geffroy, is depicted wearing traditional clothing that reflects the fashion trends of his time. His hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble while emphasizing his status as a man living in 17th-century France. The play itself explores themes of health, illness, and imagination through the lens of Argan's neurotic behavior. As a hypochondriac suffering from imaginary ailments, he becomes entangled in comedic situations that highlight both his eccentricity and vulnerability. This print serves as a visual representation not only of Argan but also of the historical context surrounding Moliere's work. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into French theater history and appreciate the artistry behind this iconic character.
