CAMBON Charles - Antoine. Paris 1802 - id; 1875. Project for the set of the opera Faust by Gounod. Charcoal on blue paper. Tiled. H. 50 - L. 59,8 cm. First thought for the 3rd tableau of act III for Gounod's Faust when the work was redesigned in 1869 for the Paris Opera. This decoration of Cambon represents "The street or the public place". It is known by a print preserved at the BNF, Department of Performing Arts. It takes up with variations the same elements represented on the engraving (buildings and medieval houses, bridge with statue and lantern tower), but modifies the locations.
