1838 Haunted Irving Manager Mathias Visions


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary English actor-manager, Henry Irving (1838-1905), in the gripping role of Mathias in the classic play "The Bells" by Charles Dickens and Edward Fitzgerald. The image, taken in 1905, showcases Irving's intense concentration and dramatic flair as he delves deep into the character's haunted psyche. Mathias, a vengeful spirit seeking retribution, is a role that perfectly suited Irving's ability to convey both terror and pathos. Irving's theatrical career spanned over five decades, during which he became synonymous with the Victorian stage. He was the first actor to be knighted by the British monarchy in recognition of his contributions to the world of theatre. This photograph, taken towards the end of his illustrious career, is a testament to his enduring talent and ability to captivate audiences. The setting of the photograph is shrouded in mystery and adds to the overall eerie atmosphere. The dimly lit room, with its ornate decor and grand fireplace, creates an otherworldly ambiance that perfectly complements the haunting nature of the play. Irving's costume, with its flowing robes and ominous hood, further enhances the sense of suspense and intrigue. The photograph is a historical treasure that offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when live theatre was the primary form of entertainment. It is a reminder of the power of the spoken word and the transformative abilities of a great actor. This image of Henry Irving as Mathias in "The Bells" is not only a testament to his remarkable talent but also a fascinating snapshot of theatre history.
