EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Maud Hobson (1857-1913), an English actress who made history as the 'Mother of Musical Comedy.' In this portrait, taken in 1899, Maud is elegantly dressed in a Victorian costume, reflecting the theatrical era of the late 19th century. Her expressive eyes and poised demeanor convey the intensity and passion she brought to her performances on stage. Maud's acting career began in the 1880s, and she quickly rose to prominence in the world of musical comedy. Her talent and charisma earned her critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. In 1899, Maud's life took an unexpected turn when she married Captain Haley, the commander in chief and prime minister of Honolulu. In her new role as lady in waiting to the queen, Maud continued to perform, bringing the joy of music and comedy to the Hawaiian people. This photograph is a testament to Maud's versatility as an artist and her ability to adapt to new environments. Her marriage to Captain Haley took her from the theaters of London to the exotic shores of Hawaii, where she continued to captivate audiences with her performances. Maud's legacy as a trailblazing actress and pioneer of musical comedy endures to this day, inspiring generations of performers to follow in her footsteps.
