EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1854, showcases the elaborate uniform of a pageboy in the five-act drama "Le Comte de Lavernie" by Auguste Maquet. The pageboy, standing proudly before an ornate backdrop, dons an extravagant attire fit for the grandeur of the Parisian stage. The uniform is a breathtaking display of white, blue, gold, and black, adorned with intricate ribbons, cuffs, and embroidery. The pristine white tunic, adorned with gold buttons and blue sash, is a testament to the pageboy's youth and innocence. The voluminous black skirt, adorned with gold embroidery and blue ribbons, adds an air of sophistication and formality to the ensemble. The pageboy's uniform is a reflection of the opulence and grandeur of the Parisian theatre scene during the mid-19th century. The intricate details of the uniform, captured in meticulous handcoloring by Lacauchie, transport us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. "Le Comte de Lavernie" was a popular five-act drama by Auguste Maquet, which premiered at the Porte St. Martin theatre in Paris in 1860. The play, with its complex plot and intriguing characters, was a staple of the Parisian theatre scene and showcased the talents of some of the most renowned actors of the time. This stunning lithograph not only provides a glimpse into the world of Parisian theatre during the mid-19th century but also serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Alexandre Lacauchie and the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris.
