EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical coloured engraving captures the essence of "La Comedie Parisienne" in all its theatrical glory. The image, part of a private collection, showcases a satirical cartoon from the 19th century publication Petit Journal pour Rire. In this delightful scene, we see an actress dressed in breeches and donning a top hat, embodying the spirit of cross-dressing for comedic effect. With her monocle and amusing pose, she exudes confidence and charm as she entertains the audience with her exaggerated gestures. The artist's skillful use of caricature adds to the overall amusement factor, emphasizing certain features like the actress's expressive face or her comically oversized hat. This satirical drawing serves as scathing satire on French society at that time. Eve Lavalliere is brilliantly portrayed in this print, known for her talent as both a comedienne and an actress. Her performance here epitomizes French culture and European entertainment during this era. Through this enchanting engraving, viewers are transported back to a bygone era filled with laughter and merriment. It reminds us of the enduring power of theatre to captivate audiences through humor and clever storytelling. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a remarkable piece from their extensive collection that showcases not only artistic brilliance but also provides valuable insights into historical cultural practices.
