EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures English actress Miss Aline in the role of the First Boatman in Les Potatoes de Potatoes Sick, a comedic play by Dumanoir and Clairville performed at the Theatre du Palais Royal in 1845. The intricate details of her costume, meticulously illustrated by Alexandre Lacauchie, bring to life the character's charm and wit on stage. Miss Aline's portrayal as a crossdressing boatman adds an element of intrigue to the scene, showcasing her versatility as an actor. The exaggerated features and bold colors of her outfit highlight the theatricality of 19th-century French drama. The lithograph is part of Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris collection, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Parisian theater during this period. Miss Aline's performance as the First Boatman is captured with such finesse that it feels like she could step out of the print and onto the stage once again. This piece serves as a testament to both Miss Aline's talent as an actress and Alexandre Lacauchie's skill as an illustrator. It is a true gem for any lover of theater history and costume design, preserving a moment from a classic French play for generations to come.
