EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the renowned French actor Jacques Francois Laporte in the role of Arlequin from the one-act folie-vaudeville play "Le Sultan du Havre," written by Armand d'Artois and Henry Dupin, which premiered at the Theatre Vaudeville in Paris in 1810. Arlequin, a character rooted in the Italian commedia dell'arte tradition, is a classic clown figure known for his agility, wit, and colorful costumes. In this production, Laporte's portrayal of Arlequin exudes charm and mischief, as evidenced by his expressive facial features and lively body language. The intricately detailed engraving, taken from Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles par K. Y. Z, published by Louis Janet in Paris in 1820, serves as a testament to the theatrical artistry and visual splendor of the time. This enchanting image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the talent and charisma of Jacques Francois Laporte as Arlequin and the enduring appeal of the commedia dell'arte tradition.
