EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous theatrical performance that took place at Windsor Castle in 1893. Renowned actors Henry Irving and Ellen Terry are seen here, portraying the characters of Thomas Becket and Rosamund respectively, in Alfred Lord Tennyson's play "Becket". The grandeur of the occasion is further enhanced by the presence of Queen Victoria herself, who watched this remarkable production on 18 March. The image transports us back to a time when live performances were highly esteemed forms of entertainment. It showcases the talent and dedication of these two legendary actors as they bring their characters to life on stage. Their expressions convey deep emotion, capturing the intensity and drama of the scene.
