EDITORS COMMENTS
In the magical world of Victorian theatre, the enchanting duo of Henry Irving and Ellen Terry graced the stage of the Lyceum Theatre in an 1881 production of Hannah Cowley's The Belles Stratagem. The play, an 18th-century comedy of manners, showcased Irving and Terry in exquisite 18th-century costumes, transporting audiences to another era. Henry Irving, a renowned English actor, had recently added a new string to his bow - dancing. This unexpected talent had left Fred Vokes, a dancer at Drury Lane, feeling the heat. Irving's graceful and elegant movements, as captured in this enthralling photograph, left no doubt as to why the audiences were flocking to see him. Ellen Terry, an equally captivating actress, complemented Irving's performance with her own grace and beauty. Her thin, elegant legs, adorned in a flowing, intricately designed gown, were a sight to behold. Her expressive face, framed by a delicate handkerchief, conveyed the emotions of her character with unparalleled skill. The photograph, taken during an interlude in the production, captures a moment of respite for the two actors. Irving, with a twinkle in his eye, holds out his hand to Terry, who playfully fans herself with her handkerchief. The chemistry between them is palpable, adding to the allure of their performances. The Belles Stratagem was a triumph for the Lyceum Theatre, with Irving and Terry's performances receiving critical acclaim. Their collaboration was a testament to the power of theatre to transport audiences to another world, and to the enduring magic of the stage.
