Macbeth" at His Majesty's Theatre: A Theatrical Portrait of the Tempting of the Thane of Cawdor This theatrical portrait, dated 1911, depicts Sir Herbert Tree as Macbeth and Miss Violet Vanbrugh as Lady Macbeth in a production of "Macbeth" at London's prestigious His Majesty's Theatre. The image captures a pivotal moment in the play, as Macbeth, having been hailed as the Thane of Cawdor, receives the prophecy from the three witches that he will become King. The quote inscribed at the bottom of the portrait reads, "Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it." This line, spoken by the witches, foreshadows Macbeth's descent into darkness and his eventual transformation from a nobleman to a tyrannical king. Sir Herbert Tree, a renowned English actor of the early 20th century, masterfully portrays Macbeth's initial shock and ambition, while Miss Violet Vanbrugh, as Lady Macbeth, exudes a chilling calmness and determination. The image captures the essence of the Edwardian era, with its ornate costumes and theatrical grandeur. This portrait offers a glimpse into the rich theatrical history of "Macbeth," a play that continues to enthrall audiences with its timeless themes of ambition, power, and the corrupting influence of unchecked desire. The image is a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's masterpiece and the artistry of the actors who bring its characters to life on stage. The portrait is part of the extensive collection of the ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, and is a valuable addition to any collection of Shakespearean theatre history or the history of early 20th century theatre in England.
