EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the renowned French actor, Gouget, in the role of Raymond in the fairy spectacle "Les Sept Chateaux du Diable" (The Seven Castles of the Devil) at the Theatre de la Gaite in Paris during 1844. The production was a collaboration between Charles Clairville and Adolphe Dennery, with costumes designed by Louis Lasalle and illustrations by Alexandre Lacauchie. Gouget's portrayal of Raymond, a character from the popular fairy tale, is depicted in this handcoloured lithograph with an ethereal and otherworldly appearance. The intricately detailed costume, designed by Lasalle, includes a flowing robe adorned with gold and silver embellishments, a crown of leaves and flowers, and a scepter held in his right hand. His expressive face and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and courage as he stands before the enchanting backdrop of the seven castles. The fairy spectacle "Les Sept Chateaux du Diable" was a popular success during the 19th century, and this lithograph offers a glimpse into the magical world that was brought to life on the Theatre de la Gaite stage. The collaboration between Clairville, Dennery, Lasalle, and Lacauchie resulted in a visually stunning production that captivated audiences and left a lasting impression on the world of theatre. This beautiful lithograph, originally published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the individuals involved in the production and serves as a reminder of the enchanting world of 19th century French theatre.
