EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Scottish music-hall legend, (Sir) Harry Lauder, as he entertains a packed audience in 1905. Lauder, born in Portobello, Edinburgh, in 1870, rose to fame as a popular entertainer and singer, known for his distinctive tartan outfits, sporran, and catchy songs that celebrated Scottish culture and traditions. Lauder's performances were a staple of Scottish and British music halls, and he was a frequent visitor to the prestigious Speakeasy Club in London. In this image, Lauder is seen in his element, engaging the audience with his charismatic stage presence and undeniable talent. His signature tartan attire, complete with a sporran adorned with tassels, adds to the authenticity of his performance and reinforces his connection to his Scottish heritage. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the history of music halls, which were an essential part of entertainment in the early 20th century. These venues offered a unique experience, bringing together people from all walks of life to enjoy live performances, often in an intimate and interactive setting. Lauder's popularity transcended social and economic boundaries, making him a beloved figure in Scottish and British society. As a prolific performer, Lauder's career spanned over five decades, and he was knighted by King George V in 1919 for his services to entertainment. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the lasting impact he had on the world of music and entertainment. With a captivating smile and a twinkle in his eye, Lauder continues to captivate audiences, even a century after this image was taken.
