EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French actor Paul Bocage in the title role of Albuquerque from the play "Echec et Mat" by Octave Feuillet and Paul Bocage. The image was produced in 1846 and is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie for Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris." Paul Bocage (1810-1884) was a versatile French actor, writer, and director who made a significant impact on the French theatre scene during the 19th century. He was known for his powerful and expressive performances, which often brought his characters to life in a vivid and memorable way. In "Echec et Mat," Bocage portrayed Albuquerque, a character from Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote." The play, which was adapted from the novel by Octave Feuillet and Paul Bocage, was first performed at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris in 1846. The lithograph captures the intensity and drama of Bocage's performance as Albuquerque. He is depicted in a grand pose, with a determined expression on his face and a sword in hand. The intricate details of his costume, which includes a richly decorated cloak and a feathered hat, add to the sense of grandeur and elegance. The image is a testament to the skill of the lithographers and the illustrator, who were able to capture the essence of Bocage's performance and bring it to life in a visually stunning way. It is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in the career of one of France's greatest actors and a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre.
