- Biography (note)
- La filleule des fées (The fairies' godchild) was first performed at the Paris Opéra on October 8, 1849, with a scenario by Jules Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jules Perrot (whose names are satirized in Lorentz's subtitle as Singe-Orge and Pierrot), choreography by Perrot, and music by Adolphe Adam and Alfred de Saint-Julien. The leading role of Ysaure, the fairies' godchild, was danced by Carlotta Grisi, with Perrot and Lucien Petipa as her rival lovers, respectively called Alain and Prince Hugues de Provence. They are caricatured in the second row of pictures as the large figures at far left and far right. The comic strip form was introduced by lithographer Rodolphe Töpffer in 1833 and later adopted by wood engravers, who sometimes accompanied their illustrations with printed text, as Lorentz does here.
