EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie Dorval in the Role of Lady Seymour from Charles Duveyrier's "Lady Seymour" at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin, 1845 This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the captivating Marie Dorval in the title role of Lady Seymour in Charles Duveyrier's play of the same name, which premiered at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris in 1845. The image, based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, is part of Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, a comprehensive collection of theatrical costumes and designs. Marie Dorval (1804-1849), a renowned French actress of the Romantic era, was celebrated for her intense and emotional performances. In this production of Lady Seymour, she portrayed the tragic heroine, a woman who, driven by her love for Lord Seymour, defies societal norms and sacrifices her reputation. The intricately detailed costume, designed to reflect the opulence and elegance of the 15th century, is a stunning example of the theatrical artistry of the time. The rich fabrics, intricate embroidery, and ornate jewellery all contribute to the grandeur of the image, while Marie Dorval's expressive face and poised posture convey the depth of emotion and drama that defined her performances. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Marie Dorval and the theatrical masterpieces of the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the world of French theatre during this period, providing a fascinating insight into the costumes, designs, and acting styles that captivated audiences over 175 years ago.
