Ugalde, Delphine. (1829 - 1910). Original Color Andre Gill Caricature. The May 26th issue of "La Lune," featuring a stupendous cover caricature of the French soprano. 4 pp. 35 X 49 cm. Horizontal fold, edge a little rough, but overall very good with strong and richly inked color. Andre Gill (1840-1885), regularly persecuted by censorship, was probably the greatest caricaturist of his time in Paris.
"She studied in Paris with Cinti-Damoreau and made her début in 1848 at the Opéra-Comique as Angèle in Auber’s Le domino noir, a role created by her teacher. In 1851 she sang at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, as Delilah in Auber’s L’enfant prodigue. In 1858 she sang Leonora (Il trovatore) at the Paris Opéra and was then engaged at the Théâtre Lyrique. In 1863 she moved to the Bouffes-Parisiens, where in 1867 she sang in her own operetta, Halte au moulin. She retired in 1871." (Elizabeth Forbes, Grove Online)
