EDITORS COMMENTS
Backstage at the Irving Palace Theatre, New York, during a performance of 'Battle of the Butterflies' captures a captivating glimpse into the world behind the curtains. This photograph, taken by Byron Company in 1895, showcases the bustling energy and anticipation that fills the green room before actors take to the stage. In this intimate setting, we see performers adorned in elaborate costumes with intricate butterfly wings. The female actresses exude elegance and grace as they patiently wait for their cue. Meanwhile, male actors engage in animated conversations while adjusting their attire under dimly lit lamps. The backdrop hints at a dramatic scene about to unfold on stage - an integral part of Sudermann's comedy play 'Die Schmetterlingsschlacht. ' The attention to detail is evident not only in the exquisite costumes but also in every prop carefully placed backstage. This silver gelatin print transports us back to a time when live theater was truly magical. It reminds us of all those dedicated artists who brought stories to life through their talent and passion. As we gaze upon this historic image from over a century ago, we are reminded of how much has changed yet how timeless art remains.
