Physiologie du théâtre à Paris et en province
Physiologie du théâtre à Paris et en province is an 1842 Paris humour book by Louis Couailhac, with illustrations by Henri Emy and J. Birouste, aimed at general readers curious about theatre life. Its pictures are loose pen-and-ink vignettes of theatre types: a conductor on a podium before tiered boxes, a row of exaggerated audience faces, a ragged figure at a stage door, and a stooped woman whispering to a lady in a bonnet. Their caricature and crosshatched line suit editorial cartoons or character studies.
