EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases the renowned French actor Hugues Bouffe in his iconic role as Zarillo in Le Filleul de Tout le Monde (The Godchild of the Whole World) by Emile Souvestre. The image, produced in 1847, was created by Alexandre Lacauchie and published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris (Dramatic Gallery: Costumes of the Paris Theatres). Hugues Bouffe (1812-1878) was a celebrated figure in the French theatrical world, known for his versatility and captivating performances. In Le Filleul de Tout le Monde, he brought to life the enigmatic character of Zarillo, a mysterious and cunning man who manipulates those around him for his own gain. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Bouffe's portrayal of Zarillo, with his intense gaze and expressive facial features. The intricate details of his elaborate costume, complete with a flowing cape and ornate hat, further emphasize his status as a master of deception. The production of Le Filleul de Tout le Monde took place at the Théâtres des Varieties, a popular Parisian theater known for its innovative and provocative productions. The play, written by Emile Souvestre, was a huge success and solidified Bouffe's reputation as a leading actor of his time. This hand-colored lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of French theater in the mid-19th century. It is a valuable historical document that showcases the talent and charisma of Hugues Bouffe as Zarillo, a role that continues to captivate audiences even today.
