EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases French actor Charles Marie de Chilly in the iconic role of Mordaunt from Alexandre Dumas' classic novel "The Three Musketeers," performed at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique in Paris during 1845. The production was based on Dumas' popular serialized novel, which had been published in installments since 1844 and had already gained a massive following. Charles Marie de Chilly (1813-1885) was a renowned French actor, known for his versatility and charisma on stage. Here, he embodies the enigmatic and cunning character of Mordaunt, a key figure in the intricate web of intrigue and adventure that unfolds in "The Three Musketeers." The illustration is based on a drawing by Alexandre Lacauchie, which was featured in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris," a popular publication that documented theatrical costumes and productions of the time. The lithograph, produced by Louis Lasalle, masterfully captures the essence of the theatrical experience, with its rich colors and intricate details. The image offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of French theater during the mid-19th century, as well as the enduring appeal of Dumas' timeless tale of chivalry, honor, and adventure. The presence of Charles Marie de Chilly as Mordaunt adds an extra layer of intrigue, inviting us to imagine his performance on the stage of the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique over 175 years ago.
