EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases Achille Raucourt in his role as Maître d'École, or headmaster, in the iconic 1844 production of "Les Mystères de Paris" at the Théâtre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris. The image, taken from Eugène Sue's renowned novel of the same name, was brought to life on stage under the direction of Alexandre Lacauchie and featured stunning costumes designed by Victor Dollet. Raucourt, with his stern yet compassionate expression, exudes authority and wisdom. His impeccably tailored robe and collar, along with his white wig and hat, signify his position as an esteemed educator. The intricate details of the hand-coloured lithograph, produced by Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris in 1845, further highlight the grandeur and opulence of the production. "Les Mystères de Paris" was a groundbreaking work that explored the social issues of Parisian society during the 19th century. The play, based on Sue's novel, was a major success and ran for over 150 performances. Raucourt's portrayal of the Maître d'École was undoubtedly a significant contribution to the production's success, as he brought depth and authenticity to the character. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of Parisian theatre during the mid-19th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the importance of education in shaping the lives of individuals and communities.
