EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Jessie Preston as she embodies the iconic character of Little Jack Sheppard during the late Victorian era. Dressed in authentic period attire, Preston dons a pair of breeches, lace-trimmed cuffs, and a crisp cravat, accessorized with a cross adorning her chest and a distinctive hat perched atop her head. As a trailblazing woman in the male-dominated world of theatre, Preston's portrayal of the notorious thief, Little Jack Sheppard, defied societal norms and captivated audiences in the 1890s. The character of Little Jack Sheppard, a mischievous and cunning thief, had long been a popular figure in English folklore and literature. Preston's ability to convincingly embody the male role on stage was a testament to her extraordinary talent and determination. Her performance as Little Jack Sheppard was a sensation, and she became a beloved figure in the theatre community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late Victorian era and the magical world of the theatre. The lacy cuffs, the cross, and the intricately designed hat all add to the allure of the image, as we are reminded of the captivating power of the stage and the unforgettable performances of its stars like Jessie Preston.
