Scene from "La Partie de Chasse de Henri Quatre", at the St
Scene from " La Partie de Chasse de Henri Quatre", at the St. Jamess Theatre, 1845. London stage production of a play by Charles Colle. The situation is that in which the Miller, with his lantern, is attending the benighted King...Monsieur Lafonts representation of the gallant is excellent. In Colles comedy of " La Partie de Chasse de Henri IV" in which he appeared on Monday as the gay King, his reception was very flattering. The play is founded on our old story of " The Miller of Mansfield, " and the part afforded good scope for M. Lafonts acting. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 1845 London stage production of "La Partie de Chasse de Henri Quatre" at the St. James's Theatre. The play, written by Charles Colle, revolves around the story of "The Miller of Mansfield". In this particular moment, we see Monsieur Lafont portraying the gallant King Henri IV who finds himself lost in the dark with only a miller holding a lantern to guide him. Monsieur Lafont's representation of the gay King received great acclaim during his performance on Monday night. His acting skills truly shone through in this role, as he skillfully brought out both humor and charm. The play itself provided an excellent platform for M. Lafont to showcase his talent. This engraving was featured in the Illustrated London News in 1845, capturing a snapshot of 19th-century entertainment culture. It depicts one of many memorable moments that took place on stage during this time period when theater was a popular form of amusement for people across Britain. The image not only showcases actors and performers but also highlights the importance of lighting and location in creating an immersive theatrical experience. This print serves as a reminder of how theater has always been able to transport audiences into different worlds and captivate their imaginations throughout history.
