Note
All of the works are labeled with the actor's name, dates, and the place where he played Shylock, as well as with a quotation form the role. All are either signed or initialed by the artist. Items measure approximately 17 x 12 in.
Artist: Moblard executed a number of watercolor portraits for volumes grangerized by Augustus Toedteberg. In most cases Moblard's works can be traced to engraved portraits or photographs, after which they were probably copied.
History: The entries in Harv. cat. for the actors pictured here include no mention of portraits of them in the role of Shylock. Although it is suspected that the portraits were taken after prints or photos, they have not been linked to specific works.
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: Items are contained in an extra-illustrated volume of the Daly edition of the Merchant of Venice, as arranged for production at Daly's Theatre, 1898. The volume was purchased by the Folgers from the auction of the Augustin Daly collection held through the American Art Galleries in 1900. According to the sales catalog, item no.737, the book was inlaid to folio by Augustus Toedteberg and is a unique copy, bound by Stikeman.
Subject: The following actors are pictured: Adolph V. Sonnenthal (1834-1909) ; Carl Seydelmann (1793 or 5-1843) ; Ernst Possart (1841-1921) ; Bagumil Dawison (1818-1872) ; J.V. Warren ; Herr Adler (b.1855) ; Samuel Phelps (1804-1878) ; Hermann Hendrichs (1809-1871) ; Mons. Garnier ; Josef Lewinsky [or Levinsky] (1835-1907) ; Theodor Döring (1803- or 5-1878) ; Ludwig Devrient (1784-1832) ; Max Grube (b. 1854) ; Geo. F. Cooke (1756-1812).
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.
