Augustus Harris (1852-1896): A Distinguished English Actor, Businessman, and Dramatist of the Late 19th Century This engraving in vibrant colors, published in The Artistic Illustration in 1896, showcases the distinguished Englishman Augustus Harris. Born in 1852, Harris was a versatile figure in British society, excelling in various fields including acting, business, and literature. The image captures Harris in the prime of his life, with a full, thick beard that frames his strong jawline and adds to his air of authority. Harris's profile is turned slightly, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of his beard and the decoration adorning his chest. The engraving reveals that Harris was knighted, signified by the "Sir" title before his name and the prominent display of his knightly medal. Harris was not only an accomplished actor but also a successful businessman and dramatist. He made a name for himself in the City of London, where he was known for his entrepreneurial spirit and shrewd business acumen. In the theatrical world, Harris was a prolific writer, penning numerous plays and adaptations that were well-received by audiences in London and across the United Kingdom. This engraving offers a glimpse into the life of a contemporary figure who left a significant mark on British history. Harris's story is a testament to the great honor and respect he earned during his time, as well as his enduring influence on literature and the arts in Europe. The intricately detailed engraving, with its rich colors and striking composition, serves as a fitting tribute to a man who embodied the spirit of achievement and success in late 19th-century Britain.
