EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic Austrian performer Tilly Losch (1894-1975), also known as Ottilie Herbert and later Countess of Carnarvon, in the role of a nun during a performance of "The Miracle" at the Lyceum Theatre in 1932. Losch, an accomplished dancer, actress, and painter, was renowned for her striking and elaborate costumes, which added to the theatricality of her performances. In this image, she dons a white wimple and headdress, the ostentatiousness of which only serves to heighten the suspicious and furtive gaze she casts towards the viewer. The elaborate costume, with its ornate details and dramatic folds, perfectly complements the dramatic nature of the 1930s production. Losch's ability to embody such a character with such depth and complexity is a testament to her versatility as an actress. This photograph, taken during the golden age of live theatre, offers a glimpse into the world of theatricality and intrigue that defined the 1930s.
