EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches at the Lyceum" takes us back to a bygone era of performing arts. Created by Francis S. Walker in 1881, this print captures the essence of a theatrical production at London's renowned Lyceum Theatre. The scene depicted is filled with an air of mystery and intrigue. Ghostly figures mingle with actors dressed in elaborate costumes, transporting us into the world of make-believe. The attention to detail is remarkable as each character comes to life on paper - from peasants to nobles, all playing their part in this mesmerizing spectacle. Amongst the cast, we catch glimpses of Miss Ellen Terry, one of the most celebrated actresses of her time. Her presence adds an aura of elegance and grace to the composition. Alongside her stands Mr Terriss and Mr Irving, two prominent actors known for their exceptional performances. The image hints at stories unfolding on stage; perhaps it portrays a pivotal moment from plays like "The Corsican Brothers" "The Cup" or "Chase". Death looms nearby as characters such as Franchi, Fabien, Camma, Sinnatus de Synorix are brought vividly to life through Walker's skilled hand. As we gaze upon this historical artwork preserved within a private collection today, we can't help but be transported back in time - immersing ourselves in the magic that only live theater can provide.
