Descriptions Commentary Henri-Gabriel Ibels was a contemporary of Toulouse-Lautrec with whom he shared a medium, lithography, and a demi-monde. They co-illustrated a portfolio in 1893 showing the Parisian underworld, Le Café-concert. This lithograph does not come from this series, although its format is quite similar. The sheet shows the famous actor Jean Mounet-Sully as Hamlet, musing over Yorick's skull. Mounet-Sully first played the part at the Comedie Francaise in 1886-Mallarmé saw him in the part in October of that year. He performed it at least 200 times, and starred in a silent film version of it in 1909. Verification Level This record has been reviewed by the curatorial staff but may be incomplete.
