EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the enchanting performance of Arthur Roberts as he sings the Victorian ballad "Strictly Proper." Written by Ts Lonsdale and set to music by W.C. Eaton, this timeless melody transports us back to the 1880s and the world of grand entertainment. Dressed in an elegant, red and black costume, Roberts exudes an air of sophistication and charm. His expressive face and engaging stage presence captivate the audience, drawing them into the story being told through song. The intricate details of his fancy dress, with its contrasting colors and textures, highlight the meticulous attention to detail that was a hallmark of Victorian-era performers. The setting of the photograph further adds to its charm, with the ornate stage and theatre backdrop evoking the opulence and grandeur of the era. The presence of other men in the background, dressed in formal attire, suggests the camaraderie and community that existed among performers during this time. "Strictly Proper" was a popular song during the late 1800s, and its enduring appeal is a testament to the power of music to transcend time and bring people together. This photograph is not only a window into the past but also a reminder of the universal language of music and the joy it brings to all who listen. This evocative image, featuring the soulful performance of Arthur Roberts, is a treasure from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offering a glimpse into the rich history of music and entertainment during the Victorian era.
