Paul Boisselot in the Role of Jules in La Perruque (The Wig of My Uncle) at the Folies Dramatiques: A Humorous Portrayal of a Hussar by the Renowned French Vaudeville Actor and Comedian This handcoloured lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris around 1860, showcases the exceptional comedic talent of Paul Boisselot as he embodies the character Jules in the popular French vaudeville play, La Perruque de mon Oncle (The Wig of My Uncle) at the Folies Dramatiques. Paul Boisselot (1829-1905), a celebrated French actor and comedian, is depicted in this image wearing an extravagant and comical hussar uniform, complete with a false nose, adding to the hilarity of the scene. Boisselot's ability to bring humor and life to his characters made him a beloved figure in the world of French theatre. La Perruque de mon Oncle was a popular vaudeville play that first premiered in 1851, and Boisselot's portrayal of Jules became a defining moment in the history of the production. The Folies Dramatiques, a renowned Parisian theatre, was the perfect stage for Boisselot to showcase his comedic prowess, and this image captures a memorable moment in the rich history of French theatre. Alexandre Lacauchie's handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Paul Boisselot and the impact he had on the French stage. This beautiful and intricately detailed image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and talent of a bygone era.
