Alfred Jarry (1873-1907)
Ubu King. (Programme for the Theatre of the Work). 1897. Lithography. Sheet: 24.5 x 32.5 cm. Very beautiful and fresh proof on salmon glazed wove paper. All margins.
Ubu Roi is a "comedy comedy" written by Jarry himself which was a scandalous success. The stage music is by Claude Terrasse. Jarry took over as stage manager of the Théâtre de l'OEuvre in 1896 and was then primarily concerned with having his work performed.
