EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of William Kemp, an English actor and dancer who lived during the Elizabethan era. In this image, Kemp is seen gracefully performing the traditional Morris dance, a popular form of folk dance in England. Known for his incredible talent and energetic performances, Kemp was widely celebrated as one of the most prominent entertainers of his time. The photograph is taken from J. R. Green's renowned book "Short History Of The English People" published in London in 1893. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of England and pays homage to individuals like Kemp who played a significant role in shaping its artistic landscape. Kemp's legacy extends beyond his theatrical achievements; he is also remembered for undertaking an extraordinary feat known as the "Nine Days Wonder". This daring venture involved dancing from London to Norwich over nine consecutive days, covering approximately 125 miles. His journey captivated audiences along the way and cemented his reputation as a true showman. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only Kemp's physical prowess but also his ability to bring joy through music and movement. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance of Shakespearean-era performers like William Kemp - forever immortalized through artistry and captured within these pages.
