Jean Auguste Margueritte (15 January 1823-6 September 1870), French General, father of Victor Margueritte and Paul Margueritte.
After enjoying some success with his Pierrot, Murderer of his Wife (1881), a pantomime in which a disillusioned Pierrot tickles Columbine to death, the young Paul Margueritte interviewed Legrand, now an aging artist whose triumphs at the Folies lay far behind him.
Paul Margueritte (1860-1918) was born in Algeria, the son of General Jean Auguste Margueritte (1823-1870), who was mortally wounded in the Battle of Sedan.
•
He was an amateur mime and wrote several pantomimes, most notably Pierrot assassin de sa femme (Théâtre de Valvins, 1881) and, in collaboration with Fernand Beissier, Colombine pardonnée (Cercle Funambulesque, 1888).
•
Paul's name is generally associated with that of his brother, Victor, because of their frequent collaboration.
