EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of Zait-Nathalie Martel, also known as Miss Nathalie, in drag as the Chevalier d'Essone at the Theatre du Vaudeville in 1847. The intricate details of her costume and the theatrical flair of her performance are beautifully depicted in this illustration by Alexandre Lacauchie from Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique. Zait-Nathalie Martel was a trailblazer in the world of theatre, breaking boundaries with her portrayal of male characters on stage. Her transformation into the Chevalier d'Essone is a testament to her talent and versatility as an actor. The combination of Dupeuty and Anicet Bourgeois's writing with Martel's interpretation brings this character to life in a way that captivates audiences even today. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition of this lithograph transport us back to the golden age of French theatre, where performers like Martel pushed artistic boundaries and challenged societal norms. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to transcend gender roles and ignite imaginations. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Martel's incredible skill as an actor but also of the rich history and cultural significance of drag performance in 19th-century Paris. This print is a true masterpiece that celebrates both individual creativity and collective artistic expression.
