Artist
Alphonse Liebert
Alphonse Liebert is an Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
These photos capture actors backstage in the 1800s, freezing poses and props before the curtain rises. Shot around 1859 and 1867, the pictures focus on costumes, makeup, and the small dramas of the dressing room. Liebert’s collection shows how 19th-century performers prepared for their roles. Flip to Guy Little Theatrical Photograph (ca. 1859) to see one actor mid-change behind the scenes.
