EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases French actor Desbirons in the role of Sylvandre from the production of "Les Chansons Populaires de la France" at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris, 1846. The image, based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, was published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris." Desbirons masterfully embodies the character Sylvandre, a military officer, as depicted in this striking visual representation. His uniform, complete with a tall bicorne hat, a red sash, and gold epaulets, exudes an air of authority and pride. The intricate details of the uniform, from the braiding on the cuffs to the decorative buttons, are brought to life through the skilled hand of the lithographer. "Les Chansons Populaires de la France" was a popular theatrical production during the mid-19th century, and this lithograph offers a glimpse into the elaborate costumes and performances of the time. The production, which featured various songs and dances from French folklore, was a celebration of national pride and tradition. The image, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us back to the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris during the mid-1800s, allowing us to witness the artistry and talent of Desbirons as Sylvandre. This lithograph is a testament to the enduring power of theatre and the art of storytelling.
