EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases Pierre Bernard Tournan in the role of Sombre Accueil from the classic French play "La Belle aux Cheveux d'Or" (The Beauty with the Golden Hairs) by Victor Hugo, performed at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris during 1847. The production was a collaboration between the Cogniard brothers and featured stunning costumes and sets designed by Alexandre Lacauchie, as depicted in this handcoloured print. Tournan's portrayal of Sombre Accueil, a mysterious and ominous character, is masterfully conveyed through his intense gaze and dramatic pose. The intricately detailed costume, complete with a fur-trimmed cloak and a silver-tipped cane, further emphasizes his enigmatic nature. The dimly lit background adds to the overall sense of mystery and intrigue, making this image a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre. The print is an exquisite example of the high-quality productions that were showcased at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin during this period. It was produced by the renowned French publisher, Victor Dollet, and his Galerie Dramatique, which specialized in creating detailed illustrations and lithographs of theatrical performances. This print not only serves as a testament to the talent of the actors, designers, and publishers involved, but also offers a unique window into the rich cultural history of French theatre during the 1800s.
