EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Colonel Newcome adapted by Michael Morton," showcases the beloved character of Colonel Newcome from W.M. Thackeray's novel "The Newcomes," as portrayed by the renowned English actor, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. The image was first introduced to audiences at His Majesty's Theatre in London on May 29, 1906, and later toured to the Lyceum in Edinburgh on September 24, 1906. Colonel Newcome, a charming and honorable veteran of the Bengal Light Cavalry, is depicted in this image, adorned in his full military regalia. The Colonel's uniform is adorned with epaulettes and an array of medals, proudly displayed on his chest. He clutches his sword in one hand, while the other hand rests on the striped trousers of his uniform. The Colonel's feathered hat sits atop his head, adding a touch of elegance to his military attire. The photograph was skillfully adapted by the talented artist, Chas (Charles) A. Buchel, capturing the essence of Tree's portrayal of Colonel Newcome. The image transports us back to the grandeur of Lady Fareham's ball, where the Colonel's charisma and military prowess were on full display. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Thackeray's beloved character and Tree's iconic portrayal of him on the stage.
