About this work

This colored lithograph shows a French comic actor named Jacques Charles Odry. He’s dressed for his role in a play called *L'Aveugle de Montmorency*. The print was made by Godefroy Engelmann and published by Martinet. It’s from the late 1700s or early 1800s, so it’s an old-timey theater poster. These prints helped fans remember actors and plays.
