EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Percy MacKaye in the role of Alwyn, the poet, from his groundbreaking play "Sanctuary: A Bird Masque," during rehearsals for its first performance at the Meriden Bird Club sanctuary dedication in New Hampshire, September 1913. MacKaye, an influential American dramatist, playwright, and poet, is depicted here in deep concentration, donning a hooded outfit that adds to the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the production. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, is a stunning example of the use of the Autochrome process, a pioneering early color photography technique that brought vibrancy and depth to the image. The setting, with its rural backdrop and natural surroundings, underscores the connection between the arts, literature, and the natural world that was central to MacKaye's work. This photograph is an invaluable piece of American cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theater and the visionary artists who shaped it.
