EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph from 1890, artist A. Kamak provides a unique perspective into the world of theater. Titled "How an actor sees his audience and the prompter" the print offers a glimpse into the mind of an actor as they stand on stage, surrounded by their adoring audience. The image showcases a view from the stage, with rows upon rows of theatregoers filling up the auditorium. The artist skillfully captures the energy and anticipation in their faces, as they eagerly await what unfolds before them. We can almost feel their excitement and engagement with every line delivered. But it is not just the audience that catches our attention; there is also a figure standing off to one side –the prompter– who plays a crucial role in ensuring flawless performances. This unseen helper whispers lines to actors when memory fails or prompts forgotten cues, acting as a lifeline for those treading upon this grand theatrical stage. Through intricate detailing and masterful engraving techniques, Kamak transports us back to a time where live performances were at their peak popularity. The print serves as both an homage to actors' craft and an invitation for viewers to step into their shoes –to experience firsthand how it feels to be under that spotlight while simultaneously relying on support from behind-the-scenes. This lithograph truly encapsulates the essence of theatre: its connection between performer and spectator, its reliance on teamwork, and above all else, its ability to transport us beyond reality's boundaries through artistry and imagination
