EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases Elisabeth Augustine Bressant in the role of Nini Pompon from the popular French comedy "Les Deux Compagnons du Tour de France," performed at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris during 1845. The production was a collaboration between Lockroy and Wailly, with Alexandre Lacauchie providing the illustrations for Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris." Elisabeth Bressant, a renowned actress of the time, brought Nini Pompon to life with her enchanting performance. In this image, she is depicted in a vibrant and intricately designed costume, complete with a flowing skirt, a fitted bodice, and a striking headdress adorned with feathers and flowers. The lithograph captures the essence of the character's playful and mischievous nature, as she is shown with a playful expression and a twinkle in her eye. "Les Deux Compagnons du Tour de France" was a popular and successful production during its run at the Theatre des Varietes. The play, which follows the adventures of two companions on a journey through France, was a staple of French theatre and showcased the talents of some of the most renowned actors of the time. This stunning lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the production and the captivating performances of its cast, particularly that of Elisabeth Augustine Bressant as Nini Pompon. The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph bring the character to life, transporting viewers back to the Theatre des Varietes in 1845 and allowing them to experience the magic of the performance for themselves.
