EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a ballet dancer gracefully posing in the Scottish costume designed for the pastiche opera "Robert Bruce" by Gioachino Rossini, which premiered at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1846. The dancer wears a traditional Scottish kilt made of rich tartan fabric, adorned with a sporran, a pouch worn suspended from the waist by a belt, and a bonnet adorned with feathers. The intricate details of the costume are beautifully captured in the illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, as are the dancer's expressive movements and the delicate folds of the fabric. The ballet, which was a pastiche, or a work created by combining elements from various sources, was likely intended to celebrate Scottish culture and tradition. The image is from Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," a collection of lithographs depicting theatrical costumes from the Parisian stage. This exquisite print offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the 19th-century Parisian opera scene and the fascination with Scottish culture during that time.
