EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lewis Waller, a renowned actor and theatre manager, in his iconic portrayal of Henry V. The image showcases Waller's commanding presence as he stands tall and imperious, clad in intricate chain mail armor befitting a monarch. Holding a sword with gloved hands, he exudes both power and grace. Waller's exceptional talent shines through in this role, as his fine voice and vigorous acting garnered critical acclaim throughout his career. Known for his Shakespearean performances, Waller brought to life characters such as Brutus in Julius Caesar and Faulkenbridge in King John. However, it is perhaps as Henry V that he truly left an indelible mark on the stage. The photograph transports us back to the Edwardian era when Waller first appeared on the London stage in 1883 at Tooles Theatre. His reputation grew steadily over the years thanks to his skillful portrayals both in London and across the provinces. This remarkable image not only pays tribute to Lewis Waller but also serves as a testament to William Shakespeare's enduring influence on theater arts. It is a snapshot frozen in time that captures the spirit of performance during this period while showcasing one man's incredible talent for bringing characters from history onto center stage.
