1800 1876 Frederick Lemaitre Lune Satirical


EDITORS COMMENTS
Frederick Lemaitre, a renowned French actor of the 19th century, is depicted in this satirical print titled "Lune (Lemaitre)" from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The image, created in 1876, offers a humorous take on Lemaitre's theatrical prowess and his association with the moon. Born in 1800, Lemaitre began his acting career in Paris and quickly rose to fame for his versatility and skill in both tragic and comic roles. He was a favorite of the French monarchy and often performed for them at the Comédie-Française. However, this print reveals a different side to the actor, one that was not always taken seriously. The title "Lune" is a playful reference to Lemaitre's nickname, which means "moon" in French. The print shows Lemaitre in a theatrical setting, with a crescent moon replacing his face and a star-studded sky as a backdrop. He is shown wearing a flowing robe and holding a scepter, suggesting a connection to the lunar deity. The satirical nature of the print is evident in the exaggerated features of Lemaitre's moon-like face and the comical expression on his features. The print also includes a caption that reads, "Le Roi de la Lune," or "The King of the Moon," further emphasizing the playful tone. Despite the lighthearted nature of this print, it serves as a reminder of Lemaitre's enduring impact on French theater and his ability to captivate audiences with his talent and charisma, even in the most unexpected ways.
