EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history between two legendary actresses, Sarah Bernhardt and Mrs. Patrick Campbell, in 1905. The image shows Mrs. Campbell looking less than thrilled as she is being read to by the French actress, Sarah Bernhardt. The tension between the two women is palpable, with Mrs. Campbell's expression conveying her lack of excitement at the situation.
Sarah Bernhardt, known for her dramatic performances on stage and screen, appears focused and intense as she reads to her English counterpart. Meanwhile, Mrs. Patrick Campbell seems unimpressed by Bernhardt's efforts to entertain her.
The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of theater in the early 20th century, capturing a moment of historical significance between two iconic figures in acting history. Despite their differences, both women were trailblazers in their own right and left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.
From their expressions alone, it is clear that there was more than meets the eye between these two talented performers. This print serves as a reminder of the power dynamics and rivalries that existed within the theatrical world during this era – a testament to both the challenges and triumphs faced by women in show business at that time.
