EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle Nathalie, also known as Zaite-Nathalie Martel, captivates audiences in this stunning handcoloured lithograph as she steps into the role of the Chevalier d'Essone at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris, 1847. The image, created by Dupeuty and Anicet Bourgeois, is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. In this dramatic portrayal, Mlle Nathalie masterfully embodies the masculine persona of the Chevalier d'Essone, a character from the play "Le Chevalier d'Essone" by Louis-Charles Caigniez. The intricate details of her costume, from the velvet doublet to the lace ruff, are expertly captured in the lithograph, showcasing the skill of the artists involved. Mlle Nathalie's expressive face and confident posture convey the intensity and passion of her performance, making this image a captivating glimpse into the world of 19th century French theatre. The handcoloured lithograph is a beautiful and rare example of the artistry and craftsmanship that went into the production of theatrical costumes and illustrations during this period.
