Representations of performers appearing in theatrical works presented in Paris between 1809 and 1865. Each print is numbered, and depicts a single figure in costume. The prints were published by the Parisian firm of Martinet, sometimes called Hautecoeur Martinet or Hautecoeur Frères (see below). Although most of the prints in this collection have been trimmed and lack series caption titles, they were probably published in the series Petite galerie dramatique or Galerie dramatique.
