EDITORS COMMENTS
Pauline Amant, a renowned actress of the 19th century French theatre, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as she takes on the role of Giroflee in the Vaudeville play "La Biche au Bois" by the Cogniard brothers. Performed at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in 1845, this production was a major success, and Pauline Amant's portrayal of the fairy Giroflee was particularly praised by critics and audiences alike. The illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie, captures the ethereal beauty and grace of Pauline Amant as she gracefully poses in her fairy costume. The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph bring the image to life, showcasing the exquisite textures and colours of the costume and the enchanting setting. The Theatre de la Porte St. Martin was a popular venue for Vaudeville and Comedy plays in Paris during the mid-19th century. The Cogniard brothers, known for their innovative productions, chose Pauline Amant to play the role of Giroflee due to her exceptional talent and ability to bring magic to the stage. This image is taken from Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," a collection of lithographs showcasing the most famous costumes and actors of the Parisian theatre scene. The lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Pauline Amant and her iconic performance as Giroflee in "La Biche au Bois.
