EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Berger as Hector in Un Enfantillage (1844): A Dramatic Portrayal of the Ancient Greek Hero In this handcoloured lithograph, Auguste Berger is depicted as the legendary Ancient Greek hero Hector in the production of Un Enfantillage at the Theatre du Palais Royal in Paris, 1844. The image, created by A-H-J Duveyrier 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 mid-19th century. Hector, a central character in Homer's Iliad, was the noble Trojan prince and a formidable warrior. In this theatrical adaptation, Berger masterfully portrays the hero's strength, determination, and dignity. The costume design, intricately detailed, includes a traditional Greek helmet, armour, and a flowing robe, adding to the authenticity and grandeur of the character. The setting of the Theatre du Palais Royal, a renowned Parisian theatre, further emphasizes the significance of the production. The theatre, known for its high-quality productions and innovative staging, provided the perfect platform for Berger to showcase his acting skills and bring the iconic character of Hector to life. This image not only highlights the theatrical talent of Auguste Berger but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre. The intricate details of the costume design, the dramatic lighting, and the intense expression on Berger's face all contribute to a powerful and evocative portrayal of Hector in Un Enfantillage.
