EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the renowned English actor-manager, Harry Brodribb Irving (1870-1919), in the midst of a rehearsal for his production of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" in 1903. Irving, the son of the legendary Sir Henry Irving (1838-1905), is seen here meticulously trimming a prop scarf, a small yet significant task that speaks to his dedication and attention to detail. The image, taken by an unidentified photographer, offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of early 20th-century theatre. Irving's theatrical lineage is evident in his serious expression and the air of authority he exudes. His costume, consisting of a collared shirt, waistcoat, and cravat, is reminiscent of the period's elegant theatrical attire. The presence of the scarf suggests that Irving was preparing for the role of Jaques, the melancholic duke known for his famous line, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of Irving's commitment to his craft and his role in carrying on the family's theatrical legacy. Sir Henry Irving was the first actor to be knighted by the British monarchy, and Harry Irving followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a successful actor-manager in his own right. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of English theatre and the dedication of its artists. Despite the passage of time, this image retains its ability to captivate and inspire, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of live performance.
