EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a scene from the play "The Little Devil", featuring esteemed actors Madame Vestris, Charles Mathews, and Strickland. The image captures a pivotal moment in the performance, with Nicolo dramatically claiming his share of something - perhaps wealth or power - as he declares "Halves". The detailed costumes worn by the actors add to the allure of this print, transporting viewers back to a time when theater was a grand spectacle. Each actor embodies their character with precision and flair, bringing them to life on stage. Madame Vestris exudes elegance and charm, her poise commanding attention. Charles Mathews captivates with his expressive face and impeccable comedic timing. Strickland adds depth to the scene with his intense gaze and powerful presence. As we admire this engraving, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of live performances and how they have shaped our cultural history. This particular illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News in June 1843, further highlighting its significance as an artistic representation of theatrical excellence. Through this image captured by an English School artist from the 19th century, we can appreciate not only the talent of these actors but also their contribution to shaping our understanding of performing arts during that era.
