EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French comic actor, Charles Coquet, in the title role of "Regent" from the play "L'Étoile du Berger" by Anicet Bourgeois and Adolphe d'Ennery, performed at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique in Paris during 1846. The image, based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, is part of Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris," published in the same year. Charles Coquet (1811-1884) was a celebrated French comedian, known for his versatility and ability to bring humor and depth to his characters. In "L'Étoile du Berger," he portrayed the Regent, a role that required both physical comedy and dramatic acting. The play, a popular success, told the story of a shepherd who, mistaken for the King, is forced to rule and eventually wins the heart of the Queen. The intricately detailed lithograph captures Coquet's expressive face and the regal bearing of his character. He wears a grand, velvet robe adorned with gold trim, a symbol of his assumed power and status. The rich colors and fine lines of the lithograph bring the image to life, offering a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the mid-19th century. This beautiful and historic print is a testament to the talent of Charles Coquet and the creativity of the artists involved in the production of "L'Étoile du Berger." It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of theatre to entertain and captivate audiences, and the important role that costume design plays in bringing characters to life on stage.
