EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases Etienne Marin Melingue in the role of Lorin from the play "Le Chevalier de Maison Rouge" by Alexandre Dumas, performed at the Theatre Historique in Paris in 1846. The image, hand-colored with meticulous attention to detail, is based on an illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie and was published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. Melingue, a renowned French actor, masterfully portrays Lorin, a character from Dumas' play, which tells the story of Louis de Lasalle, a young man who, after being wrongfully accused of a crime, joins the Maison Rouge, a notorious band of robbers. In this scene, Lorin, dressed in the distinctive red coat and tricorn hat of a Maison Rouge member, stands confidently with a sword in hand, embodying the strength and courage of the rogue hero. The intricate details of Melingue's costume, from the folds of his coat to the buckles on his boots, are brought to life through the skilled hand of the lithographer. This stunning print offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the captivating performances of its most celebrated actors.
