EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-A-004660-0029" we are transported back to the enchanting world of 18th-century theater. The subject of the portrait is none other than the renowned French actor, Coquelin, who stands before us in all his theatrical glory. Dressed in an exquisite eighteenth-century stage costume, Coquelin exudes a commanding presence that captures the essence of his vocation as a performer. Every detail of his attire has been meticulously crafted - from the ornate lace ruffles cascading down his shirt to the intricate embroidery adorning his waistcoat. The attention to detail in both clothing and accessories showcases not only fashion and clothing trends of that era but also highlights Coquelin's dedication to bringing authenticity to every role he embodies. The full-length composition allows us to appreciate Coquelin's confident stance and elegant posture, emphasizing his stature as a male figurehead within the performing arts community. His piercing gaze draws us into a world where imagination reigns supreme, inviting us to explore characters and stories through live performances on stage. This photograph by Franck Lemercier & C serves as an enduring testament to Coquelin's legacy as one of France's most celebrated actors during the late 19th century. It encapsulates not only his talent for transforming into diverse roles but also pays homage to the artistry behind theatrical costuming. As we admire this remarkable image captured circa 1874, we are reminded of how theater transcends time and space, allowing audiences then and now to be transported into different worlds through storytelling brought vividly alive by talented individuals like Coquelin.
