EDITORS COMMENTS
French actor Frederic Lemaitre gracefully embodies the title role in the classic play "Don Cesar de Bazan" at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris, 1844. In this stunning handcoloured lithograph, Lemaitre is depicted in full costume, wearing the distinctive attire of Don Cesar, complete with a flowing cape, ornate doublet, and a sword at his side. The image is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, which was originally featured in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," published in 1845. The play, written by Dumanoir and Adolphe d'Ennery, tells the story of Don Cesar de Bazan, a nobleman who is falsely accused of treason and is forced to flee his homeland. He returns years later, disguised as a commoner, to clear his name and win back the love of his beloved Leonora. Frederic Lemaitre was a renowned French actor of the 19th century, known for his versatility and ability to bring depth and nuance to his characters. In this production of "Don Cesar de Bazan," Lemaitre's powerful performance captivated audiences and solidified his reputation as one of the greatest actors of his time. The intricately detailed handcolouring of this lithograph brings the image to life, showcasing the rich textures and colours of the costume and the expressive facial features of Lemaitre. This beautiful print is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of French theatre in the 19th century.
