Note
Artist: Item is attributed to Moblard due to its similarity to other works in the FSL collection signed by him. See other entries under Moblard and guide record for Augustus Toedteberg. No biographical information has been found on Moblard. His work indicates that he was a watercolor copyist of rare prints.
History: Though most of Moblard's portraits are easily traced to original prints cataloger was unable to find a portrait of Roberts which matches this watercolor. There is no portrait of Roberts as Richard III in Harv. cat. nor in the A.L.A. portrait index.
No biographical information has been located on Moblard. The user is referred to entries under Toedteberg, Augustus for additional works from the Toedteberg shop.
Provenance: Item was purchased by the Folgers from the 3rd part of the sale of the collection of Augustus Toedteberg, held by Anderson, Oct 6-7, 1904. Item is listed as no.2962 in the catalog of the sale. Formerly cataloged as an anonymous work, ART Box R645 no.1.
Subject: FSL has 2 Richard III prompt books relating to Robert's performances in the role (see PROMPT RICH III nos.7,25).
The art collection of the Folger Library includes many volumes of extra-illustrated books, several of which formerly belonged to the library of the theatrical manager Augustin Daly. Many of Daly's extra-illustrated volumes were inlaid and organized by Augustus Toedteberg, a professional inlayer and repairer of prints who resided in Brooklyn, N.Y. in the 1870's to 1890's.
The volumes which Toedteberg grangerized contain a number of watercolor portraits copied after rare prints, which are signed by a Victor Moblard who may have been under the employ of Toedteberg. Moblard's style of painting and writing is rather distinct and even where he has not signed his name it is easy to spot his work. In cases where his signature or initials appear, or where the style gives evidence of his work, the item hs been entered under his name. In all cases, where known, a subject entry has been given for the original artist of the print from which Moblard was copying.
