'''Costume for Ruy Blas (1838) by Victor Hugo (1802-1885), Revival at the Comédie-Française in 1879 by Th. Thomas''' refers to the attire designed for the characters in the play "Ruy Blas," written by the French dramatist, poet, and novelist Victor Hugo. The play, which was first performed in 1838, is a romantic drama set in the Spanish court of the 17th century, revolving around the themes of love, honor, and political intrigue. The costumes for the original production would have reflected the historical period in which the play is set, with a focus on the sumptuous fashions of the Spanish nobility.

In 1879, the Comédie-Française, one of France's most esteemed theatrical companies, revived "Ruy Blas" with new costumes designed by Th. Thomas. This revival would have been significant as it came during a period when historical accuracy in stage costumes was becoming more valued, and the designs would have likely aimed to capture the grandeur and authenticity of the era depicted in Hugo's play. The revival of "Ruy Blas" at the Comédie-Française would have been an important cultural event, reaffirming the enduring popularity of Victor Hugo's works and the significance of the play in the canon of French dramatic literature.

The costumes for such a revival would have been created with meticulous attention to detail, from the luxurious fabrics to the intricate accessories, to transport audiences back to the Golden Age of Spain. The revival's costume designer, Th. Thomas, would have played a crucial role in bringing the characters to life and contributing to the overall visual impact of the production. The 1879 revival of "Ruy Blas" at the Comédie-Française, with its emphasis on historical costume authenticity, would have been a testament to the evolution of stagecraft and the importance of costume design in enhancing the theatrical experience.
