EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cartoon, High Art - two rival actresses: The First Priestess and The Second Priestess," dates back to March 1885, during the late Victorian era. The image, taken during an entr'acte at the Theatre, captures a playful moment of rivalry between two esteemed actresses, Alfred Bryan's First Priestess and Second Priestess. The First Priestess, with a smirk on her face, holds up a hat, proudly boasting that she only uses three costumes on stage, while her rival, the Second Priestess, looks taken aback and slightly offended. The Second Priestess, with a defiant expression, retorts that she calls herself an actress and has her dresses made in England. The cartoon, which was published in an 1885 issue of a popular theatre magazine, showcases the playful and competitive nature of the acting world during the late 1800s. The two actresses, dressed in elegant Victorian attire, are depicted in a lighthearted and humorous way, highlighting their unique personalities and individual approaches to their craft. The photograph, a delightful glimpse into the world of theatre during the late 1800s, is a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and creativity that has long been a part of the acting profession. With their expressive faces and engaging body language, the two actresses continue to captivate and entertain audiences over a century later.
