Description:
Comte Pierre Louis Roederer(1754-1835) was an economist, writer, and politician. In 1789 he became a Deputy. He was associated with Louis-Philippe and was one of the judges in the April trials. Charles Louis Huguet, Marquis de Semonville (1759-1839) was a diplomat, State Council and worked with Louis-Philippe. He was one of the judges in the April trials. Robert Macaire may seem to be a realistic figure, however one was an artificial personality, created in 1823 by Benjamin Antier for his play "L’Auberge des Adrets". The breakthrough came in 1834, when Frédéric Lemaitre used the names of Macaire and his somewhat simple partner Serres-Bertrand for his various comedies in Paris.
