The Dukes Motto,

EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating theatrical production starring the esteemed British actor Lewis Waller, graces this vintage photograph. The image, created by the skilled artist Chas A. Buchel in 1908, immortalizes a pivotal moment from John Huntly McCarthy's adaptation of Paul Feval's novel "Le Bossu," or "The Hunchback," which was first presented at the Theatre Royal in Birmingham on August 13, 1908, and later at the Lyric Theatre on August 19, 1908. The intriguing scene showcases Waller's character, an enigmatic man with a hooped earring, a headscarf, and a distinctive moustache. His piercing gaze is directed upwards, suggesting deep contemplation or determination. The man's gypsy-like attire and theatrical setting further emphasize the popular entertainment of the early 1900s. "The Dukes Motto" is a testament to the enduring appeal of Feval's novel, which has been frequently adapted for the stage and screen in France. McCarthy's 1908 novel of the same name acknowledges the influence of Victorien Sardou's play, although it does not seem to have been produced. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in the world of theatre and theatrical performance.
