Representations of performers appearing in theatrical works presented in Paris between 1809 and 1865. Each print depicts a single figure in costume for the performance. The prints were published by the Parisian firm of Martinet, sometimes called Hautecoeur Martinet or Hautecoeur Frères. Although most of the prints in this collection have been trimmed and lack series caption titles, they were probably published in the series Petite galerie dramatique or Galerie dramatique. The printing and publishing house of Maison Martinet was founded in 1796 by Aaron Martinet, 1762-1841, who became well-known for publishing satirical prints. In 1822 the firm assumed the name Hautecoeur-Martinet, after Martinet's son-in-law Hermenégilde Hautecoeur, who became its head after Martinet's retirement in 1824.

Beaupré in Gardel's ballet, Paul et Virginie, performed at the Paris Opéra, June 24, 1806. Monsieur Beaupré was a senior dancer in genre comique. In Charles mason's treatise (A Short Essay on the French Danse de Société published in 1827)  he says that Beaupré taught ‘many of the French as well as the English nobility who visit Paris’. He enjoyed a dance career at the Paris Opéra, where he had attained the rank of ‘Premier Sujet’ and had earned a pension on his retirement.

  • Handling: When handling art prints, always hold them by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or smudges on the surface. If possible, use gloves to prevent oils from your skin transferring onto the print.
  • Framing: To protect art prints from dust, moisture, and physical damage, consider framing them behind glass or acrylic.
  • Display: Avoid displaying art prints in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and deterioration of the colors. Choose a location away from windows or areas with fluctuating temperature and humidity levels.
  • Cleaning: If your art print gets dusty, gently dust it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the print, as they may cause damage to the paper or ink.
  • Storage: If you need to store art prints for an extended period, store them flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid Folding or Rolling: Never fold or roll art prints, as this can cause creases, tears, or permanent damage to the paper and ink. Always store them flat or in a rigid, protective container designed for artwork.
  • Air Circulation: In humid environments, ensure adequate ventilation in the room where prints are displayed or stored to prevent moisture buildup. Consider using dehumidifiers or moisture-absorbing products like silica gel packets to maintain optimal conditions. Periodically inspect prints for any signs of damage or deterioration caused by humidity. Take preventive measures promptly to mitigate further harm.
