EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the grace and elegance of Adele Dumilatre as she performs the role of Lady Henriette in the second act of "Lady Henriette," a ballet choreographed by Jules Perrot and first performed at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1844. The ballet was based on a play by Alexandre Dumas pere and was originally titled "La Dame aux Camelias." Adele Dumilatre, a renowned French ballerina of the 19th century, was known for her exceptional beauty and extraordinary dancing abilities. In this image, she is depicted in the iconic costume designed by Louis Lasalle and illustrated by Victor Dollet for the publication "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris." The intricate details of her costume, from the delicate floral patterns to the elegant train, perfectly complement the dramatic stage setting and add to the overall enchantment of the scene. The ballet "Lady Henriette" was a major success and marked a turning point in Dumilatre's career. Her performance as the title character was widely acclaimed, and she went on to become one of the most celebrated ballerinas of her time. This image serves as a testament to her artistry and the enduring beauty of the ballet tradition. The lithograph was created by Mazilier and handcoloured by an expert artisan, adding an additional layer of detail and depth to the image. The result is a truly magnificent work of art that transports us back in time to the world of 19th-century ballet and the extraordinary talent of Adele Dumilatre.
