Deburau's son, [[Charles Deburau|Jean-Charles]] (or, as he preferred, "Charles" [1829–1873]), assumed Pierrot's blouse the year after his father died.<ref>See, e.g., Gautier in ''Le Moniteur Universel'', August 30, 1858; tr. Storey, ''Pierrots on the stage'', p. 59.</ref> Another important Pierrot of mid-century was Charles-Dominique-Martin Legrand, known as [[Paul Legrand]] (1816–1898; see photo at top of page). He began appearing at the Funambules as Pierrot in 1845.<ref>Many reviewers of his pantomimes make note of this tendency: see, e.g., Gautier, ''Le Moniteur Universel'', October 15, 1855; July 28, 1856; August 30, 1858; tr. Storey, ''Pierrots on the stage'', pp. 66–68.</ref>

Legrand left the Funambules in 1853 for the [[Folies-Nouvelles]], which attracted the fashionable set, unlike the Funambules' working-class audiences. Legrand often appeared in realistic costume, his chalky face his only concession to tradition, leading some advocates of pantomime, such as Gautier, to lament that he was betraying the character of the type.<ref>On the Folies-Nouvelles, Legrand's pantomime, and Champfleury's relationship to both, see Storey, ''Pierrots on the stage'', pp. 36–73.</ref> Legrand's Pierrot influenced future mimes.
