1. Title: "Pierre-Thomas Levassor as Oscar in L'Enfant du Carnaval: A Theatrical Triumph of the 19th Century" In this handcoloured lithograph, we find French actor Pierre-Thomas Levassor brilliantly portraying the character Oscar in L'Enfant du Carnaval (The Carnival Child) at the Theatre du Palais Royal in Paris during 1846. The image, an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, showcases Levassor's extraordinary talent and the elaborate, fantastical nature of the production. L'Enfant du Carnaval, a popular comic ballet, was first performed in 1837 with music by Louis-Philippe Ladmiral and choreography by Jules Perrot. The story follows the mischievous and whimsical character of Oscar, who, disguised as various characters, attempts to win the heart of his beloved Columbine. The image reveals Levassor's captivating performance as Oscar, dressed in an elaborate, fantastical costume. His expressive face and animated body language convey the character's playful and enchanting nature. The intricate details of the costume, from the vibrant colours to the intricate patterns, highlight the theatrical grandeur of the production. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the theatrical artistry of the time, as well as the remarkable talent of Pierre-Thomas Levassor. His portrayal of Oscar in L'Enfant du Carnaval left a lasting impression on audiences, making it a significant moment in the history of French theatre. The image, produced by the renowned lithographer Victor Dollet, is a valuable document of the theatrical world of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the elaborate costumes, captivating performances, and the magical world of the theatre.
