EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the 5th Marquess of Anglesey, Henry Paget, in an elaborate and flamboyant costume for a theatrical performance at his very own Gaiety Theatre situated within Anglesey Castle in 1904. Known for his eccentric love of theatre, Lord Anglesey's passion for the arts was unparalleled among his aristocratic peers. The Marquess, who was renowned for his camp and extravagant personality, donned this particularly ostentatious attire for an undisclosed character role. Adorned with an abundance of jewels and intricate detailing, the costume adds to the allure of this already enigmatic figure. The portrait offers a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy during this era, where theatrics and grandeur were celebrated and embraced. Lord Anglesey's dedication to the arts extended beyond just acting, as he was also a generous patron and supporter of various theatrical productions. His Gaiety Theatre at Anglesey Castle was a hub for artistic expression and creativity, attracting both local and international talent. This photograph serves as a testament to the Marquess's unwavering commitment to the theatre and his flamboyant personality, which set him apart from his contemporaries. The image, taken in 1904, remains a fascinating glimpse into the world of the aristocracy and their love for the performing arts during this time.
