Mlle. Daniel as Paquita in L'Étoile du Berger, 1846: A Vision of Enchantment and Elegance in the Heart of Parisian Theatre This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Mlle. Daniel as Paquita in L'Étoile du Berger," offers a glimpse into the magical world of Parisian theatre during the mid-19th century. The image, created by Anicet Bourgeois and Adolphe d'Ennery, was produced for the Theatre de l'Ambigu Comique in 1846. It is an illustration after an original drawing by Alexandre Lacauchie, as featured in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris. Mlle. Daniel, the elegant ballerina depicted in the print, embodies the spirit of the fairy spectacle, "L'Étoile du Berger," or "The Shepherd's Star." Paquita, the character she portrays, is a young shepherdess who is abducted by goblins and must be rescued by a shepherd. The enchanting ballet-pantomime, which combined elements of both ballet and operetta, was a popular success during its time. In this image, Mlle. Daniel is dressed in a stunning costume, complete with a flowing white gown adorned with gold and silver accents, a diaphanous veil, and a crown of flowers. Her graceful pose, with one hand delicately placed on her hip and the other extended in front of her, exudes confidence and poise. The backdrop of the print features a pastoral scene, with rolling hills, a serene lake, and a picturesque village, further emphasizing the fairytale-like atmosphere of the production. This beautiful and intricately detailed print is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, offering a window into the world of Parisian theatre during the 19th century. It invites us to imagine the enchantment and elegance that filled the Theatre de l'Ambigu Comique during the performance of "L'Étoile du Berger," and to appreciate the talent and dedication of Mlle. Daniel and her fellow performers.
