Mmme. Daubrun role de La Belle aux Cheveux d'or is a 1847 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The print shows Madame Daubrun as she appeared in a play. She's dressed in a costume, looking like a character from a story. This print is interesting because it shows a moment from theater history. Madame Daubrun's performance inspired a famous writer, Charles Baudelaire. He wrote some verses about her in his work. You can learn more about this kind of art at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A hand-colored print from around 1847 depicts the actress Madame Daubrun in her role as the title character in *La Belle aux Cheveux d'or*, a production staged at the Théâtre de la Porte St Martin. The print captures her appearance in that performance, which later influenced verses in Charles Baudelaire’s *The Flowers of Evil*. Donated to the British Theatre Museum Association by Ivor Guest in 1962, the work is preserved as part of theatrical history.
