EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Josephine Gautier, a renowned French actress of the 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as Ariel, the page to the king, in the production of "La Corde de Pendu" at the Theatre du Cirque Olympique in Paris, 1844. The image, created by the talented collaborators Ferdinand Laloue and Anicet Bourgeois, is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie from Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," published in 1845. Madame Gautier's portrayal of Ariel is both elegant and enchanting, with her flowing white gown, intricate headdress, and expressive features capturing the essence of the mystical character. The intricate details of the costume, the regal setting, and the theatrical atmosphere are all beautifully rendered in this exquisite work of art. "La Corde de Pendu," or "The Gallows Strangler," was a popular melodrama of the time, and Madame Gautier's performance as Ariel was undoubtedly a highlight of the production. The image serves as a testament to her exceptional talent and the innovative theatrical productions of the period. This handcoloured lithograph is a rare and valuable document of the rich history of French theatre and the remarkable career of Madame Josephine Gautier. Its intricate details and vibrant colours bring the past to life, providing a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the captivating performances of its most celebrated actresses.
