![]() Polichinelle originated in the seventeenth century from Pulcinella, which was brought to France by Italian comedians. Polichinelle's costume is multicoloured and French elegant. His head is decorated with a triangular stitch. He has a protruding chin and hooked nose, a high hump and a huge belly. Polichinelle was not only a comic figure on the stage - often in the company of Arlequin and Pierrot - he was also the main character of French puppet theatre. The series consists of 12 elongated lantern slides, each with two scenes with accompanying text in French. |
