EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured copperplate engraving from the 1823 Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles, French actor Bertin is depicted in the title role of Zug in the historical melodrama "Pauvre Berger" by Daubigny, Carmouche, and Hyacinthe at the Theatre du Panorama Dramatique. The melodrama, a popular genre of the 19th century that combined elements of theater, opera, and vaudeville, tells the story of a poor shepherd, Berger, who is falsely accused of a crime and ultimately reunited with his beloved, Mlle Virginie Dejazet, played by soprano actress Mimi. Bertin's intense expression and dramatic pose convey the depth of emotion required for the role of Zug. He is surrounded by a cast of characters, including the grisettes, or working-class women, and Scribe, the play's author. Dupin, the actor portraying the villainous character, can be seen in the background, adding to the intrigue of the scene. The Theatre du Panorama Dramatique was known for its elaborate sets and innovative use of lighting, which would have added to the visual spectacle of the performance. The handcoloured copperplate engraving serves as a striking reminder of the theatrical productions that captivated audiences in Paris during the early 19th century. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theater and the talented actors who brought these stories to life on the stage. The intricate details of the engraving, from the actors' costumes to the ornate sets, transport us back in time and allow us to imagine the excitement and emotion of a live performance.
