La Vie! La Vie!: A Moment of Mischief with Lionel Brough, the Beloved British Comic Actor (1836-1909) This photograph captures the essence of British comic actor Lionel Brough (1836-1909) in his prime, during the 1880s Victorian era. The image, titled "La Vie! La Vie!" and published in Bryan's Entracte in November 1883, showcases Brough's exceptional talent for comedy and his ability to captivate audiences with his expressive facial expressions and playful demeanor. Brough's costume, a trimmed fur-lined coat, adds to the overall charm of the photograph. The actor's profile, with a finger pointed playfully, exudes a sense of mischief and wit that was synonymous with his stage persona. The title "La Vie! La Vie!" translates to "Life! Life!" in French, perhaps hinting at the lively and energetic performances Brough was known for. As a popular comic actor, Brough graced the stages of London's West End and beyond, entertaining audiences with his unique brand of humor. His career spanned over five decades, and he remains an iconic figure in the history of British theatre. This photograph serves as a testament to Brough's enduring legacy and his ability to bring joy and laughter to generations of theatre-goers. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of Victorian era memorabilia or theatre history, and its timeless appeal continues to captivate and delight viewers to this day.
