EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Dorothea Baird in the regal role of Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of King Charles I, during their theatrical tour of 1908. Dorothea, married to the renowned actor H.B. Irving who portrayed King Charles I, graced the stage alongside her husband in various productions, including Caesar Borgia, Hamlet, The Lyons Mail, and The Bells. Dressed in an elaborate and authentic costume, complete with a voluminous gown, intricately designed headdress, and a pair of elegant gloves, Dorothea embodied the regal grace and charm of the Queen consort. The image, taken in 1907, advertises their upcoming performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre in Birmingham on March 23, 1908. The theatrical production was a popular form of entertainment during the early 1900s, and Dorothea and Irving's performances were highly anticipated by audiences. Their portrayals of Caesar Borgia and Hamlet, in particular, were critically acclaimed for their depth and intensity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of theatrical drama during the late Victorian era, showcasing the elaborate costumes, the intricate details of the stage design, and the dedication of the actors to their craft. Dorothea's portrayal of Queen Henrietta Maria remains a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of live theatre.
