EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Elizabeth Hartley (1751-1824), a renowned English actress of the late 18th century, in the role of Jane Shore in Nicholas Rowe's play of the same name. The historical figure of Jane Shore was one of the most famous mistresses of King Edward IV (r. 1461-1483), a period of English history marked by political intrigue and personal scandal. In this theatrical portrayal, Hartley dons a wildly unsuitable dress for the character of Jane Shore. The extravagant, ornate gown, adorned with elaborate embroidery and a voluminous train, is a stark contrast to the historical record, which describes Jane as a woman of humble origins who rose to favor at the royal court through her beauty and charm. Despite the anachronistic costume, Hartley's portrayal of Jane Shore was undoubtedly captivating. Her expressive face and commanding presence convey the complex emotions of a woman who was both a victim of circumstance and a survivor in a world of powerful men. Nicholas Rowe's play, first performed in 1714, was a popular staple of the London stage during Hartley's career. The role of Jane Shore provided her with an opportunity to showcase her acting skills and captivate audiences with her portrayal of this intriguing historical figure. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the world of 18th-century English theater and the fascinating character of Jane Shore, as brought to life by the talented Elizabeth Hartley.
