EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1890s and experience the magic of the theatre as depicted in this promotional postcard for Wilson Barrett's production of "The Sign of the Cross." This image, part of R.C. Carter's series of drawings of show business personalities, showcases Barrett in the role of the Roman prefect, a character who ultimately becomes a Christian martyr. The play, which premiered at the Grand Theatre in Leeds on August 26, 1895, and later at the Lyric Theatre in January 1896, brought a new audience to the theatre with its powerful Christian theme. Barrett, dressed in a striking toga and making the sign of the cross, exudes an air of authority and conviction. The Roman setting, complete with columns and ancient ruins, adds to the sense of history and grandeur. This drawing is a testament to the popularity of theatre during the 1890s and the enduring power of live performance to transport us to other worlds. Whether you're a fan of the theatre, history, or simply appreciate the beauty of a well-crafted image, this postcard is a must-have addition to your collection.
