EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Elizabeth Pope, an accomplished actress of the 18th century, in the role of Artemisa in Nicholas Rowe's "The Ambitious Stepmother." The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of British theatre and the remarkable career of this talented actress. Elizabeth Pope, born in 1744, first appeared on the London stage in 1762 as "Miss Younge" in "The Fair Penitent." Over the next three decades, she graced the stages of Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres, earning critical acclaim for her versatility and depth of emotion. In "The Ambitious Stepmother," Pope portrayed Artemisa, a complex and manipulative character in Rowe's classic tragedy. The play, first performed in 1704, tells the story of a stepmother's relentless pursuit of power and vengeance against her stepdaughter. Pope's portrayal of Artemisa was undoubtedly a highlight of her career, demonstrating her ability to embody both the allure and the menace of this intriguing character. The photograph, taken from an original print dated 1797, captures Pope in the prime of her career. Her expressive eyes and poised demeanor convey the intensity and depth of her acting talent. The historical significance of this image lies not only in the representation of a remarkable actress but also in the preservation of a moment in the history of British theatre. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to witness the artistry and passion of Elizabeth Pope as she brought Artemisa to life on the stage over two centuries ago.
