1751 1824 Albion Dramatic Hartley Periodically Pose Revived Scots Striking Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, Elizabeth Hartley, a renowned actress of her time, assumes the regal persona of Mary Queen of Scots in John Bannister's periodically revived play, "The Albion Queen." The photograph, taken in the early 19th century, around 1824, captures Hartley in a dramatic pose, evoking the historical significance and intrigue surrounding the Scottish monarch. Mary Queen of Scots, born in 1542, was a queen consort of France and later the reigning monarch of Scotland from 1542 to 1567. Her tumultuous reign was marked by political intrigue, power struggles, and ultimately her execution in England in 1587. In "The Albion Queen," Hartley brings to life the complex character of Mary Stuart, portraying her as a strong, determined monarch, despite the challenges she faced. The play, first performed in 1751, was a popular historical drama that showcased the rich history of Scotland and its monarchy. John Bannister, the play's author, revived the production in the early 19th century, providing Hartley with an opportunity to shine in the title role. The photograph captures her in mid-performance, her expressive face and regal posture conveying the depth and complexity of the character she portrays. This image is a testament to Hartley's acting abilities and her ability to transport audiences back in time to experience the rich history of Scotland and its monarchy. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of 19th-century theatre and the captivating performances of Elizabeth Hartley as Mary Queen of Scots.
