Paris, 1875-1880. Small folio (30,5 x 23 cm to 34 x 25,5 cm). -- Alfred Grévin (28 January 1827 5 May 1892) was a well-known sculptor, cartoonist and theater costume designer. His caricatures and drawings were published in many contemporary newspapers and magazines such as Le Gaulois, Le Journal Amusant, Le Petit Journal pour Rire and Le Charivari. Several of his theater designs were released as albums. In 1882 he founded with journalist Arthur Meyer the Musée Grévin in Paris, which is one of the oldest wax museums in Europe. Grévins designs are fancy, piquant and easily drafted. He was remarkable popular at his time and sometimes even was compared to Paul Gavarni. From 1873 to 1875 Jacques Offenbach was the director of the Théatre de la Gaité in Paris. At this time Grévin designed the costumes for several operettas including Offenbachs Genevieve de Brabant, which are part of this collection, and the 673 costumes for Offenbachs opéra-féerie Le voyage dans la lune, loosel |
