EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating handcoloured lithograph that showcases the enchanting performance of the renowned French actress, Mlle. Volet, as the character Cesarine in the vaudeville production of "Les Deux Pierrots" at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris, 1845. The image, produced by Bayard, is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. Mlle. Volet, with her expressive eyes and graceful figure, captivates the audience as Cesarine, a character often portrayed as a clown or jester. Her face is masked with a traditional Pierrot mask, a white visage with black circles for eyes and a red nose, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to her performance. The clown costume, adorned with multicolored polka dots and stripes, accentuates her playful and whimsical nature. The background of the lithograph is filled with the vibrant energy of the Theatre des Varietes, with other performers and audience members in various stages of amusement and excitement. The intricate details of the costumes and the lively atmosphere transport us back to the 19th century Parisian theatre scene. This rare and beautiful lithograph is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the performers and artists of the time, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the theatre and the transformative power of a well-crafted performance. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of theatre history or art, and a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century French vaudeville.
