1. Title: "Bussine as Jacques I in Gibby: A Regal Baritone Performance This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned baritone singer, Prosper Alphonse Bussine, in his regal role as Jacques I in the comic opera Gibby, composed by Clapisson. Performed at the Theatre de l'Opera Comique in Paris during 1846, this production of Gibby, la Cornemuse, was a major success. Bussine's powerful and expressive voice was perfectly suited to the demanding role of Jacques I. His portrayal of the king was both majestic and comical, captivating audiences with his vocal prowess and impeccable acting. In this image, Bussine is depicted in full regalia, a testament to the grandeur and spectacle of the opera. The illustration was created by Alexandre Lacauchie and published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris.

This lithograph is a beautiful and rare example of the theatrical art of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of opera and the remarkable performances of its stars. Bussine's portrayal of Jacques I in Gibby remains a highlight of his illustrious career, a testament to his talent and the enduring appeal of opera as a form of artistic expression. The intricate details of Bussine's costume, the rich colours, and the ornate setting all contribute to the overall sense of grandeur and spectacle, making this a truly stunning and collectible piece of theatrical history.
