Biography (note)

• The works depicted are: the opera Paul et Virginie, to music by Victor Massé, presented at the Théâtre National Lyrique in 1876; La foire St. Laurent, an opérette-bouffe by Jacques Offenbach, presented at the Théâtre des Folies Dramatiques in 1877; and Cinq-Mars, a drame lyrique to music by Charles Gounod, presented at the Théâtre de l'Opéra Comique in 1877. Mademoiselle Vanghel, in La foire de St. Laurent, and the two unnamed dancers in Cinq-Mars appear to be performing en travesti.
• Antonin Marie Chatinière was a French painter and lithographer. Opera appears to have been a particular interest of his, and in addition to illustrations of opera scenes he also designed advertising posters for Rigoletto, Lakmé, and other operas. These prints were probably published as parts of the series Nouvelle 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. The brothers Eugène and Alfred Hautecoeur, the Hautecoeur Frères, managed the business from 1843 to 1867. Jules Hautecoeur, Alfred's son and the great-grandson of the founder, later became the sole proprietor of Ancienne Maison Martinet.
