Artist: PAL (Jean de Paléologue, 1860-1942) Size: 42 x 85 1/2 in./106.8 x 217.2 cm Condition: B+/ Slight creases. Printer: Imp. Paul Dupont, London Key Words: Art Nouveau; Artist: Pal; Theatre A Life of Pleasure. A Life of Pleasure was the last play to be written and produced by Henry Pettitt. It debuted in September, 1893 and was transferred from Drury Lane to Princess's, which offered more room, and ran through February, 1894. The story tells of "a woman who succumbs to the lure of evil sensuality and falls victim to the machinations of a heartless upper-class, pleasure-loving seducer" (Fantasies of Empire, p. 199). One would not know from Pal's design that this striking lady becomes a fallen woman, but we appreciate Pal's decision to show her triumphant and independent.
