EDITORS COMMENTS
Ada Blanche, a renowned English actress of the late 19th century, is depicted in this photograph as she portrays the character of "The Telephone Girl" at the Grand Theatre in Islington, London, in 1896. The image captures a moment of intense concentration and emotion on Ada's face, as she listens intently to the other end of the telephone line. Her expression is a complex mix of surprise, worry, and concern, as if she has received some unexpected or troubling news. The telephone, a relatively new form of communication in the 1890s, was still a novelty and a source of fascination for many. Ada's portrayal of the telephonist in this production was undoubtedly a popular and engaging spectacle for theatre-goers of the time. The Grand Theatre in Islington was known for its innovative and thought-provoking productions, and Ada Blanche's performance as "The Telephone Girl" was no exception. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century communication and the captivating art of live theatre.
