EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases Robert William Elliston, the esteemed manager of Surrey Theatre, in his iconic role as Sylvester Daggerwood. The image captures Elliston's theatrical prowess and charisma as he performs on stage, bringing to life this beloved character. Dressed in a vibrant costume that reflects the fashion of the era, Elliston exudes confidence and charm. His expressive face reveals his dedication to portraying Daggerwood with utmost authenticity. As he sings the popular song "Bonaparte" written by Mr Lawler and published in 1811, his melodious voice fills the theatre hall, enchanting both young and old alike. The audience is captivated by this enthralling performance. Men and women can be seen engrossed in the spectacle while children sit wide-eyed with wonderment. The interior of the theatre is beautifully illustrated, showcasing its grandeur and elegance. This illustration by George Cruikshank (1792-1878) perfectly encapsulates an era when live entertainment was cherished by all walks of society. It serves as a testament to Elliston's talent as an actor-manager who brought joy to theatregoers through his exceptional performances. As we gaze upon this historical print from our Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back in time to experience a moment of pure theatrical magic captured forever within these vivid colours. Let us appreciate this snapshot from history for its artistic brilliance rather than any commercial use it may have had throughout its existence
