PORTRAIT OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.
Reading edition
One Male Figure.
This portrait-tableau is produced in the same manner as that of "Gabrielle." The gentleman who personates Louis Napoleon should in form and features resemble him. The costume consists of a blue velvet coat, decorated with silver and gold lace, vest of the same material, buff breeches, white hose, low shoes, knee and shoe buckles, gold epaulets and side arms, a decoration on the left breast composed of brilliant stones and spangles, a red and blue silk sash across the breast. Louis Napoleon wears a long beard and heavy mustache. Position is such as to display a partial front view of the body, right hand placed on the hilt of his sword, eyes directed forward, countenance calm. Light should come from the front of the stage, and be of medium brilliancy. Music, Marseillaise Hymn.
