EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Marie Albertine Adalbert, a celebrated French actress of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Catherine in the play "La Duchesse de Marsan." The image, created by Dennery for the Theatre de l'Ambigu Comique in Paris in 1847, is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie from Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris." Madame Adalbert's portrayal of Catherine, a character known for her beauty and cunning, is captured with great detail in this print. She is dressed in an elegant and ornate costume, with a flowing white gown adorned with intricate gold and red patterns, and a matching shawl draped over her shoulders. Her expressive face, with its intense gaze and slightly raised eyebrows, conveys a sense of determination and cunning intelligence. The Theatre de l'Ambigu Comique was a renowned Parisian theater known for its innovative productions and talented actors. Madame Adalbert was a leading figure in the company, and her performance as Catherine in "La Duchesse de Marsan" was undoubtedly a highlight of the season. This lithograph provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theater, and the extraordinary talent of one of its most beloved actresses. The intricacy of the handcolouring in this print adds to its aesthetic appeal, bringing the image to life with vibrant colours and rich textures. The use of lithography, a popular printing technique of the time, allowed for the mass production of high-quality images, making them accessible to a wider audience. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Madame Marie Albertine Adalbert and the art of French theater in the 19th century.
