Set for The Wedding on the Eiffel Tower by Jean Cocteau

In Cocteau's 1921 play The Wedding on the Eiffel Tower, crowds were represented by a single person, as in Jarry's Ubu Roi. The master of ceremonies of the vaudeville introduced each sequence and explicated the action. Cocteau described the play, seen in front of this set of the Eiffel Tower, as having "the frightening appearance of a drop of poetry under a microscope."
