EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photographic print depicting the renowned Victorian actor, Sir Henry Irving, in the iconic role of the devilish character Mephistopheles from the classic play "Faust" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Adapted for the stage in the late 1880s, Irving's production at the Lyceum Theatre in London marked a significant milestone in the history of drama and entertainment. The photograph, taken by W.G. Wills, captures Irving in an intricately designed costume that embodies the essence of evil and mystery. The image shows Irving with a hooded cloak, elongated horns, and an enigmatic expression, adding to the overall aura of the devilish character. The horns, a traditional symbol of the devil, are meticulously crafted and add an air of menace and intimidation to the image. The hood, with its intricate patterns and folds, enhances the sense of mystery and secrecy associated with Mephistopheles. Irving's portrayal of Mephistopheles was a critical and commercial success, and this photograph serves as a testament to his exceptional acting skills and ability to bring the character to life on the stage. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the captivating performances that enthralled audiences during the 1880s. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a groundbreaking production that continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on the world of drama and entertainment.
