EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Julian L'Estrange in the role of Sebastian in William Shakespeare's iconic play, The Tempest, produced in the early 1900s. The photograph, taken by Charles Buchel in 1904, captures L'Estrange's intense and brooding portrayal of the character. Sebastian, one of the central antagonists in the play, is known for his plotting against Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, and his sister, Miranda. The Edwardian era costume design, with its intricate details and rich textures, adds to the overall dramatic effect of the photograph. L'Estrange's costume consists of a fitted doublet and breeches, adorned with gold embroidery and lace, a ruff collar, and a sword at his side. His dark, piercing gaze and clenched fist convey a sense of determination and malice. The Tempest, one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays, tells the story of Prospero, the sorcerer-duke, and his quest for revenge against those who usurped his throne. The play is renowned for its exploration of themes such as power, forgiveness, and the supernatural. L'Estrange's portrayal of Sebastian adds depth to the complex narrative, making this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the history of Shakespearean theatre. This photograph is a testament to L'Estrange's talent as an actor and the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works. It provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era and the timeless stories of William Shakespeare.
