Show BETWEEN the Henri Rochefort of the empire and the Henri Rochefort of today there is little resemblance. He used to have angular features and frizzly hair; he has now filled out and has become almost fat. The external appearance is more correct and almost fashionable. He wears a light puletot? paletot? over a black frock coat and trousers, a lustrous silk hat, and gray gloves. His hair is now cut close, and the famous tuft? has been sacrificed. Even the imperial? has disappeared from his chin. The complexion is tanned, and the face in becoming fuller has caused the prominence of the cheek-bones to disappear. The eye has also lost its brilliancy and limpidity. The legendary Rochefort has in fact disappeared. |
