EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, entitled "Entr'acte 288" from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the Victorian era of London's vibrant theatre scene. The image, taken in 1883, captures the bustling energy of a Lyceum Theatre intermission. Henry Irving, a renowned actor-manager of his time, is seen at the top of the stairs, donning a top hat and a distinguished moustache, engaged in conversation with Alfred Bryan Davis and Leopold Lewis, two other prominent figures in the theatrical world. The men are surrounded by a sea of hats and whiskers, adding to the authenticity of the scene. Stewards in uniforms, holding lists and notices, are busy directing the audience and managing the flow of foot traffic. The stage is partially visible in the background, hinting at the excitement and anticipation building for the next act. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the social fabric of Victorian London's theatre culture. It showcases the camaraderie and collaboration between theatre professionals, as well as the intricate organization required to keep the show running smoothly. The image is an invaluable historical document, providing us with a tangible connection to the past and the rich heritage of live entertainment.
