EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Gabriel Potier, a renowned French actor of the 19th century, is depicted in this handcoloured lithograph as he portrayed the character Jacques in the Vaudeville play "Le Conscrit" at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris, 1824. The production was a collaboration between Antoine Simonnin and Ferdinand Laloue, with Potier's portrayal receiving critical acclaim. The image, created by F. Noel after an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, captures Potier's intense expression and theatrical presence. Jacques, a character in the play, is shown in a moment of deep contemplation, with his hand resting on his chin and a serious look in his eyes. The detailed handcolouring brings the image to life, adding depth and texture to Potier's costume and the intricate set design. The Theatre des Varietes was known for its innovative and popular productions, and "Le Conscrit" was no exception. The play, which follows the story of a young man being drafted into the army, was a hit with audiences and solidified Potier's reputation as a talented and versatile actor. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of 19th century French theatre and the captivating performances of its stars. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the image to life, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of historical theatre memorabilia.
