EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesange's "Le Bon Genre" publication in Paris, 1817, we witness an enthralling performance at the Theatre Montansier in Versailles. The gentleman, dressed in the height of Napoleanic Empire fashion, skillfully controls four dogs as they gracefully dance on their hind legs. The pooches, dressed in the latest fashions, mirror their owner's elegant attire, adding an amusing and satirical touch to the scene. The dogs' coordinated movements, executed with precision, leave the audience in awe. The theatre, renowned for its unique and diverse entertainment, continues to attract crowds with this extraordinary display of canine agility and human-animal bonding. This intriguing image, a testament to the popularity of dog shows during the era, offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and satirical entertainment of the time.
