Bernhardt-Postcard-Puzzle-1906.jpg
Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) was a French stage actress who was arguably the most famous actress of the 19th century. She deliberately cultivated an aura about herself using every form of media, earning such titles as “the Divine Sarah” and the “Sacred Monster.” In France and other countries, her image was endlessly circulated in paintings, engravings, photographs, statues, posters, advertisements, and satirical drawings. This puzzle, consisting of ten postcards, displays her silhouette in her most famous roles, female and male, tragic and dramatic. Throughout her career, Bernhardt reinterpreted many classic roles, such as in the title role in Phèdre by Jean Racine (1639-99), but she also played many roles that contemporary authors created just for her, for example in such plays as The Passer-By (1869) by François Coppée (1842-1908), Frou-Frou (1883) by Henri Meilhac (1831-97) and Ludovic Halévy (1834-1908), Theodora (1884) by Victorien Sardou (1831-1908), and The Eaglet (1900) by Edmond Rostand (1868-1918).

er of Poland. Moussorgskys masterly opera is intenselyRussian in character, and relates actual eventsin the history of Russia during the reign of theCzar Feodor, son of Ivan the Terrible, whileBoris Godounow was acting regent. Moussorg-sky has simplified Poushkins text somewhat,and has written a prologue to precede the drama,which has scarcely anything in common withPoushkins book. Boris, the acting regent, has caused themurder of Dimitri, the younger brother of loanthe Terrible, to whom the throne would havepassed on Ivans death, but he is remorsefulfor his act and has entered a monastery on theoutskirts of Moscow.
