EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases a theatrical moment from the 1846 production of "Gentil Bernard, ou L'Art d'aimer" at the Théâtre des Varietés in Paris. The image features two renowned French actresses, Pauline Virginie Dejazet and Elisabeth Augustine Dupont, in their iconic roles. Pauline Virginie Dejazet, portrayed here as Gentil Bernard, was known for her versatility and talent, often taking on male roles in drag to great acclaim. In this production, she donned the disguise of a humble fisherman, Gentil Bernard, to win the heart of Claudine, played by Elisabeth Augustine Dupont, also known as Madame Bressant. Madame Bressant, as Claudine, is depicted in a demure, elegant gown, her expressive face conveying a mix of curiosity and attraction. The contrast between the two actresses' costumes highlights the intrigue and excitement of the gender-bending plot. The illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie, was published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris" in 1846. The lithograph offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of 19th-century Paris, showcasing the artistry and creativity of its performers and designers. This image is a testament to the power of performance and the enduring appeal of cross-dressing in the world of French theatre. The intricate details of the costumes, the expressive faces of the actresses, and the overall sense of drama make this a truly enchanting piece of theatrical history.
