[Gluttony] de Beauplan, Amédée. (1790-1853). Les Anglais d'Automne: Scène Comique... Chantée par Chaudesaigues. Paris: Meissonier and Heugel. [ca. 1839-42]. Amédée de Beauplan (whose full name was Amédée Louis Joseph Rousseau de Beauplan) was the son of a military officer of the ancient régime who was executed by guillotine in 1794. He achieved fame as a playwright, composer, and painter. He wrote both text and music for the present work. The original performer, Chausedaigues, whose name appears twice in the edition (on title and heed of first page of music) remains enigmatic. The present work appears as an illustration in Hannah Scott's "Balzac, England, and the 'café chantant'" (L'Année Balzacienne V. 20 #1, 2019), in which she writes that "In the comic repertoire of the “café chantant,” the Englishman was a hugely popular character type, a familiar laughing stock—and this stereotypical Englishman would have been in the back of the minds of Balzac’s readership and informed their understanding of what they read about English characters in the literature."
