EDITORS COMMENTS
Behold the captivating image of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree as Rip Van Winkle, brought to life on the enchanting stage of Her Majesty's Theatre in London during the early 1900s. This photograph, a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian and Edwardian theatre, captures Tree in the title role of Washington Irving's classic tale. Dressed in ragged clothing and sporting a long, flowing white beard, Tree embodies the essence of the elderly and forgetful Rip Van Winkle, a man who, after sleeping for twenty years, awakens to find the world around him transformed. Tree's portrayal of Rip Van Winkle was a testament to his remarkable acting abilities, and this production at Her Majesty's Theatre was undoubtedly a must-see event for theatre-goers of the time. The image of Tree, with his walking stick in hand and a quizzical expression on his face, invites us to join him on an unforgettable journey through the annals of time. This photograph, part of The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to witness a moment in theatre history that continues to captivate and inspire. The magic of the stage, brought to life by the inimitable Beerbohm Tree, is truly a sight to behold.
