EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the 19th century, where the legendary actor Frederick Lemaitre takes center stage. The English School's meticulous attention to detail brings out every nuance of Lemaitre's expressive face and commanding presence. Rendered by the talented artist E Morin, this illustration is a testament to the engraver's artistry. Lemaitre, known for his groundbreaking contributions to French theater, emerges as a charismatic figure in this print. His intense gaze captures our attention while his theatrical costume hints at the dramatic roles he was renowned for portraying. With each stroke of Morin's hand, we can almost hear Lemaitre reciting lines from classic plays that once mesmerized audiences. This private collection print is part of "Choice Examples of the Engravers Art" a compilation curated by Hamilton Adams in 1890. It serves as an exquisite representation of both Lemaitre's talent and the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating engravings during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder platform, allowing us to appreciate and delve into history through visual storytelling. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of how art can transcend generations and continue inspiring new audiences today.
