EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mary Anderson as Hermione, Wife of Pyrrus," showcases the remarkable talent and allure of American actress Mary Anderson in the role of the mythological character Hermione. The image, published in the Iberian Illustration in 1888, was produced by the renowned French engraver Jonnard. Mary Anderson, born in 1859, was a celebrated figure on the American and European stages during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this portrayal, she embodies the wisdom and grace of Hermione, the wife of Pyrrhus, a character from Greek mythology. Hermione is known for her intelligence and devotion to her husband, who was famously driven mad by the vengeful goddesses. Anderson's costume, reminiscent of the period, includes an elegant gown adorned with intricate patterns, a bracelet, and a fan. Her character's signature spectacles are also distinctly visible. The engraving's vibrant colors further enhance the image, adding a contemporary touch to this historical representation. The setting of the stage is not explicitly depicted, but the image's title and the theatrical nature of the engraving suggest that this is a scene from a play. Anderson's expressive face and poised demeanor convey the depth and complexity of her character, making this a truly captivating work of art. Mary Anderson's career spanned over three decades, and her portrayal of Hermione is a testament to her versatility as an actress. This engraving serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century theater and the enduring power of mythology in art and literature.
