About this work

This print shows Madame Toudouze in costume as Amarathe from the opera La Fille de Madame Angot. It’s by Martinet, made around 1873. The image comes straight from the stage of the Théâtre des Folies Dramatiques in Paris. That theater staged comic operas full of catchy tunes and playful plots.
