EDITORS COMMENTS
Mme. Guichard as Morielle in Le Roi des Halles" is a captivating handcolored lithograph depicting the renowned 19th-century French actress, Adelina Patti Guichard, in the title role of Victor Hugo's classic play, "Le Roi des Halles," or "The King of the Market," at the Theatre Lyrique in Paris. The image, created by the skilled hand of Alexandre Lacauchie, is part of the esteemed "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris 1853" collection. Mme. Guichard, with her expressive eyes and dramatic pose, embodies the character of Morielle, a market woman who becomes the unwitting pawn in a tragic love triangle between a wealthy merchant and a humble fisherman. The intricate details of her vibrant costume, complete with a voluminous skirt, intricately patterned shawl, and a floral headpiece, add to the allure of this scene. This exquisite lithograph, produced in 1860, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the extraordinary talent of Mme. Guichard, who was celebrated for her powerful voice and emotive performances. The handcoloring technique used by Lacauchie adds a touch of elegance and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. The Theatre Lyrique, a historic Parisian theatre known for its innovative productions, provided the perfect stage for Mme. Guichard to showcase her talents and captivate audiences with her portrayal of Morielle. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of French theatre and the artistry of its most celebrated performers. In this stunning lithograph, Mme. Guichard's passion and intensity shine through, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical theatre memorabilia or art enthusiasts.
