EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken in the year 1901, showcases the legendary Sir Henry Irving in his iconic role as Mathias in the melodrama "The Bells" by Leopold Lewis. The production of this play at the Lyceum Theatre in London, first staged in November 1871, became synonymous with Irving's acting prowess, and he was identified more with this character than any other in his esteemed career. The image captures Irving in a moment of intense fear, his face contorted with apprehension, eyes wide open, and body leaning forward as if in anticipation of the ominous bells that signaled impending doom. The man in a simple white shirt, with a serious expression, stands before a heavy velvet curtain, the stage behind him shrouded in darkness, adding to the suspenseful atmosphere. The Edwardian era, in which this photograph was taken, was a time of grandeur and elegance in theatre, and Irving, as Mathias, epitomized the fear and tension that were integral to the melodramatic genre. The play, with its gripping plot and dramatic performances, was a favorite among audiences, and Irving's portrayal of Mathias became a benchmark for the role. This photograph is a testament to the power of live performance and the enduring impact of Sir Henry Irving's acting abilities. It invites us to imagine the thrill of witnessing this iconic production, and to appreciate the artistry and emotion that defined the theatre of the early 1900s.
