Carl (Karl) Michel studied medicine and established a successful medical practice in Cologne, while pursuing an interest in classical theater and occasionally appearing in smaller roles. In 1892, having secured a stable financial foundation, he decided to devote himself entirely to acting, a transition that also led to the publication of the present work. In addition to extensive text on acting exercises in volume I, the second volume includes 94 photographic images showing Michel in a variety of poses, facial expressions, and dramatic gestures.
