Folbach, Falka's Uncle: A Regal Figure from the 1880s Theatre Stage (H.B. Farnie's 'Falka') In this photograph from the 1880s, we meet Folbach, the uncle of the title character Falka, as depicted by the renowned artist H.B. Farnie. The image exudes an air of grandeur and sophistication, transporting us back to an era of popular entertainment where operettas and operas held center stage. Folbach's attire is a testament to the opulence and intricacy of the theatrical costumes of the time. He wears a golden, braided jacket, adorned with intricate designs and embellishments. A fur-trimmed cape drapes over his shoulders, adding an element of regality to his appearance. The man's arm is raised, pointing towards an unseen direction, as if giving a command or a warning. His moustache is well-groomed, adding to his distinguished and authoritative demeanor. The photograph's title, "Falka by H.B. Farnie," and the inscription "Our motto is Prudence and Fall back," suggest that Folbach may have been a military figure or a soldier in the play. The sword at his side further reinforces this notion. The image captures the essence of a man of substance, a gentleman of means and influence, who commands respect and attention. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of theatrical costumes of the 1880s, a time when men's fashion was characterized by grandeur, intricacy, and a sense of tradition. The image is a reminder of the rich history of popular entertainment and the enduring allure of the theatre.
