EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense concentration of George Alexander as he portrays King Philip II of Spain in the 1918 production of "If I Were King." The image finds Alexander seated before a roaring fireside, deep in thought, as if pondering the weighty decisions that come with ruling a kingdom. The historical setting is further emphasized by the ornate, gilded frame adorning the wall behind him, adding an air of regality and grandeur. Born in 1858, George Alexander was a renowned English actor who graced the stages of London's West End and Broadway with his powerful performances. He made his professional debut in 1878 and went on to enjoy a successful career spanning over five decades. Alexander's portrayal of King Philip II in "If I Were King" was particularly noteworthy, earning him critical acclaim and cementing his place among the great Shakespearean actors of his time. The play, "If I Were King," is a tragicomedy written by John Webster in 1606. It tells the story of a duke who, after being mistaken for the dead king, assumes the throne and attempts to rule justly, only to be undone by his own desires and the machinations of those around him. Alexander's portrayal of the flawed and complex monarch resonated with audiences and continues to be remembered as one of his most memorable roles. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when live theater was the primary means of entertainment and actors like George Alexander brought historical figures to life on the stage. The image captures the essence of a great actor in the midst of a powerful performance, making it a must-have for any history or theater enthusiast's collection.
