EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the captivating performance of French actress Mlle. Volnais as Eliska in the play "La Revanche" at the Comedie Francais in Paris during the early 19th century. The illustration, created by Carle Vernet and published in Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles, offers a glimpse into the world of French theatre during this period. Mlle. Volnais, whose real name was Claudine Placide Croizet-Ferreire, was a renowned actress of her time, known for her exceptional talent and beauty. In this production of "La Revanche" by Jean-Francois Roger and Augustin Creuze de Lesser, she portrayed Eliska, a character whose role and specific details of the play are not explicitly stated in the caption. However, the image conveys a sense of intensity and emotion, with Mlle. Volnais' expressive face and dramatic pose drawing the viewer's attention. The Comedie Francais, the national theatre company of France, was a prestigious institution during the 19th century, and performances there were highly anticipated cultural events. The handcoloured copperplate engraving serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, as well as a reminder of the enduring allure of the theatre and the captivating performances of its stars like Mlle. Volnais.
