EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the grace and elegance of Celestine Emarot as she embodies the title role of Addison in the romantic ballet "Lady Henriette," choreographed by Jules Perrot and originally performed at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1844. The production was based on the popular play "Marguerite, or The Faithful Heart" by Alexandre Dumas pere, and featured music by Louis Lacauchie and Victor Dollet. Celestine Emarot, a renowned ballerina of her time, is depicted in the image in the character's iconic costume designed by Mazilier. Addison, a noblewoman falsely accused of infidelity, is shown in a flowing, white tutu adorned with intricate floral patterns and a delicate, bejeweled headdress. Her expressive face and poised body convey the depth of emotion and determination that drives the character's story. The lithograph is an illustration from the "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," a collection that showcased the most beautiful and elaborate costumes from various Parisian theatres. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring brings the image to life, making it a captivating and timeless piece of dance history. The romantic ballet genre was popular in the mid-19th century, and "Lady Henriette" was no exception. Its captivating storyline, beautiful costumes, and exquisite choreography made it a success both in Paris and beyond. Celestine Emarot's portrayal of Addison remains a testament to her exceptional talent and the enduring allure of romantic ballet.
