18024713Paris: N/P 1802. An attractive hand coloured lithograph undated but 1802. Two panels on one sheet laid onto a brown card backing sheet. The hand colouring is of a high quality and the sheet is in good clean condition. Although the artist is unknown "Les Musées de la Ville de Paris" state that this is from an album called simply "Caricature" and that it was sheet XIX The two panels show the burial of the actress and dancer Marie-Adrienne Chameroy. She had died of consumption in 1802 six months after the resumption of worship being permitted at the age of 23. When her large entourage and coffin arrived at St Roch church the doors were barred shown here with a man and dog barring the way in the first panel. The nature of the crowd attending is displayed in the buxom nature of the women in the funeral train. Allegedly the refusal to bury her was based on the morality of her life and a long standing tradition of barring actresses from church. The act caused much upset even to the level of Napoleon himself. The procession then made its way to the church of the "Filles Saint Thomas" where mass was duly said. The panels are 22cm x 17cm. and the sheet is 31cm x 215cm. First edition. Paris Musées inventory G.27615. British Museum 18560712.663 second panel only. . Une jolie lithographie coloriée à la main non datée mais datant de 1802. Deux panneaux sur une feuille posés sur une feuille de support en carton brun. Le coloriage à la main est d'une grande qualité et la feuille est en bon état. Bien que l'artiste soit inconnu "Les Musées de la Ville de Paris" indiquent que cette feuille provient d'un album intitulé simplement "Caricature" et qu'il s'agit de la feuille XIX. Les deux panneaux montrent l'enterrement de l'actrice et danseuse Marie-Adrienne Chameroy. Elle était morte de consomption en 1802 six mois après la reprise du culte à l'âge de 23 ans. Lorsque son entourage et son cercueil sont arrivés à l'église Saint-Roch les portes ont été barrées comme le montre le premier panneau avec un homme et un chien qui barrent le passage. La nature de la foule présente est illustrée par les femmes plantureuses du train funéraire. Le refus de l'enterrer aurait été motivé par la moralité de sa vie et par une longue tradition qui voulait que les actrices ne soient pas admises à l'église. Cet acte a suscité beaucoup d'émoi jusqu'à Napoléon lui-même. Le cortège s'est ensuite rendu à l'église des "Filles Saint Thomas" où une messe a été dite en bonne et due forme.
