Mlle Augustine Brohan as Marianne in La Famille Poisson: A Captivating Portrayal of French Drama and Fashion in the Mid-19th Century This stunning handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Isidore Samson and based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, showcases the enchanting performance of French actress Mlle Augustine Brohan as Marianne in the play La Famille Poisson, which premiered at the Theatre Francais in Paris in 1845. Mlle Brohan, born as Josephe Felicite Augustine Soubrette, was a celebrated actress of the French stage, renowned for her captivating presence and versatile acting abilities. In this production, she embodied the iconic figure of Marianne, a role that held significant cultural significance in France. La Famille Poisson was a popular play written by Louis-Charles Caigniez and Louis-Joseph Mercier, and the production was part of the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris series, published by Victor Dollet and Louis Lasalle. The series aimed to document and preserve the fashion and theatrical traditions of the time. The image captures Mlle Brohan's elegant and expressive portrayal of Marianne, with her flowing hair, intricately detailed costume, and intense gaze. The handcoloured lithograph adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a beautiful and valuable piece of historical art. This image not only showcases the talent and beauty of Mlle Augustine Brohan but also provides a glimpse into the world of French theatre and fashion in the mid-19th century. It is a testament to the enduring power of the arts to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire us today.
