EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Perrier in the Role of La Reine Margot in Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet's Drama 'La Reine Margot' (1847) This handcoloured lithograph showcases Madame Perrier in the titular role of 'La Reine Margot' from Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet's renowned drama, first performed at the Théâtre Historique in Paris in 1847. Based on the historical figure of Margot de Valois, this dramatic work recounts the tragic events surrounding the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572. Madame Perrier's portrayal of the complex and enigmatic Queen Margot is brought to life through the skilled illustration of Alexandre Lacauchie and the meticulous handcolouring by an unidentified artist. The image reveals the queen's regal attire, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a magnificent headdress, while her expressive eyes convey a sense of determination and cunning. The setting of the stage costume drama is depicted in the background, with elaborate decorations and an ornate throne, emphasizing the grandeur and opulence of the royal court. The overall composition of the lithograph is a testament to the theatrical artistry of the time, providing a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the captivating performances of its leading actresses. This exquisite piece of theatre history, from the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris by Victor Dollet and Louis Lasalle, offers a unique insight into the world of Madame Perrier and her iconic portrayal of La Reine Margot, a character that continues to fascinate audiences and scholars alike.
