EDITORS COMMENTS
Frederic Lemaitre, the renowned French actor and writer, is depicted in this exquisite handcoloured lithograph from the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, published in 1846. The image captures Lemaitre in the title role of Le Chiffonnier de Paris, a play that premiered at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin. The production, which was written by Eugene Labiche and Adolphe Belot, was a great success and solidified Lemaitre's reputation as a talented thespian. In this scene, Lemaitre's character, Antoine Louis Prosper Lemaitre, is shown sitting on a wooden stool, dressed in tattered clothes and holding a broom. The expression on his face conveys a sense of melancholy and despair, reflecting the hardships of his character's life as a ragpicker in Paris. The detailed illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie masterfully captures the textures and folds of Lemaitre's costume, from the worn-out jacket to the tattered trousers and threadbare shirt. The lithograph is a testament to the artistry of the time, with its intricate shading and delicate use of colour. It offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the remarkable talent of Frederic Lemaitre, who brought the character of Le Chiffonnier to life on the stage. This image is a must-have for any collection of historical theatre memorabilia or for those interested in the history of French theatre and the art of acting.
