EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting performance of Angelina Grave as the Countess in Le Docteur Noir at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris during 1846. The image, created by Anicet Bourgeoise after an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the time. Angelina Grave, a renowned French actress, masterfully portrays the Countess's elegance and sophistication in this production of Le Docteur Noir. Her striking costume, adorned with intricate details and rich fabrics, complements her expressive facial features and poised body language. The Countess's regal bearing and intense gaze convey a sense of mystery and allure, drawing the audience into the story. The Theatre de la Porte St. Martin was a popular venue for French theatre during the mid-19th century, and the production of Le Docteur Noir was a significant event. The play, written by Louis-Sébastien Mercier, was first performed in 1796, and its intricate plot and engaging characters continued to captivate audiences decades later. The collaboration between Grave, Bourgeoise, Lacauchie, and Dollet resulted in a visual representation of the Countess's captivating presence on stage, immortalized in this beautiful handcoloured lithograph.
