EDITORS COMMENTS
La Mole, the enigmatic and cunning character portrayed by the renowned French actor Louis Lacressonniere in the historic production of "La Reine Margot" at the Theatre Historique in Paris in 1847, comes to life in this handcoloured lithograph. Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet, this theatrical masterpiece was brought to life through the collaboration of some of the most talented artists and performers of the time. Louis Lacressonniere, a versatile and celebrated actor, masterfully embodied the complex and enigmatic persona of La Mole. With a mysterious and calculating expression, he is depicted in this illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie, dressed in the elegant attire of the period, complete with a cloak and a hat adorned with a feather. The intricate details of the costume, the rich colours, and the expressive body language of the actor all contribute to the sense of drama and suspense that surrounds the character. The production of "La Reine Margot" at the Theatre Historique was a groundbreaking event in the history of French theatre. The play, which tells the story of the infamous massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve, was a huge success and marked the beginning of a new era in theatrical representation. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time, and a reminder of the enduring power of theatre to transport us to another world. This beautiful and rare print is a valuable addition to any collection of French theatre history or art, and a testament to the talent and vision of the artists and performers who brought "La Reine Margot" to life on the stage over 170 years ago.
