1887 Acts Covering Crying Dismay Doll Dolly Greatly Hold Lead Performance Performed Sadness Upset Theatrical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment from M. E. Pailleron's play, "La Souris" (The Mouse), performed at a French theatre in the late 1880s. In the image, the male lead actor, with a look of deep sadness etched on his face, holds out a small doll towards the distraught woman. Her expression is one of dismay and tears stream down her cheeks, adding to the emotional intensity of the scene. The theatrical setting is further emphasized by the covering over the lady's head, which was a common practice during the 1880s to create a more dramatic effect. The historical significance of this image lies in the fact that M. E. Pailleron was a renowned French playwright and actor, whose works were widely popular during this period. The small size of the doll, held out by the male actor, adds to the mystery of the scene and leaves the viewer wondering about the cause of the woman's great upset. This photograph is a testament to the power of live theatre to evoke strong emotions and transport the audience to another world.
