EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases Clarence in the pivotal role of Arthur Seymour from Charles Duveyrier's Lady Seymour, performed at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris during 1845. The image, based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, is a stunning example of the theatrical costumes and production design of the time, as depicted in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. Clarence, a renowned French actor of the 19th century, masterfully portrays the character of Arthur Seymour, a nobleman torn between his love for Lady Seymour and his duty to his king. The intricate details of his costume, from the velvet doublet and silk hose to the ornate lace collar and plumed hat, reflect the opulence and grandeur of the period. The Theatre de la Porte St. Martin was a significant venue for French theatre during the 1800s, and Lady Seymour was undoubtedly one of its most popular productions. The play, written by Louis-Charles Caigniez, was a tragic romance that captivated audiences with its emotional depth and dramatic performances. This lithograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre, providing a glimpse into the costumes, production design, and acting styles of the time. The image is a testament to the talent and artistry of Clarence, as well as the skill of the artists and craftsmen who brought the production to life on stage.
