EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century theatre. The image captures a scene from the iconic play "Faust" at the Lyceum Theatre in 1886, brought to life by the brilliant actors of that era. The stage is adorned with intricate set designs, transporting the audience to another time and place. The costumes worn by both male and female performers are meticulously detailed, showcasing the fashion trends of Victorian England. Sir Henry Irving, known for his remarkable portrayal of Faust's character, commands attention as he stands center stage. His intense gaze captivates viewers, drawing them into this dramatic tale. Beside him stands Mephistopheles, played by John Henry Brodribb Irving. Their chemistry on stage is palpable as they engage in a powerful exchange that leaves spectators spellbound. As we observe this moment frozen in time through Walter Wilson's expert lens, we can almost hear the applause and feel the anticipation radiating from those watching in awe from their seats. This photograph serves as a testament to not only these talented actors but also to an era when live performances were cherished forms of entertainment. With its rich historical significance and artistic allure, this print transports us back to a time when theatre was truly magical – where stories came alive before our very eyes on stages like the Lyceum Theatre in London's West End.
