EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (1853-1917), the renowned British actor, in the midst of a dramatic performance. The image, taken in 1917, showcases Tree in the throes of a passionate gesture, his eyes locked onto an unseen audience member with an intensity that speaks volumes. Known for his versatility and charisma on the stage, Tree was a pioneering figure in the British theatre scene, founding the Her Majesty's Theatre and the Herald Theatre Company. Born in London in 1853, Tree began his acting career in the late 19th century, quickly rising to prominence with his innovative productions and captivating performances. His unique approach to Shakespearean plays, which included elaborate costumes and sets, revolutionized the way these works were presented on stage. Tree's influence extended beyond the UK, with his productions touring internationally and inspiring a new generation of actors and directors. Despite his many accolades and achievements, Tree remained humble and dedicated to his craft, famously stating, "An actor is not a gentleman or a scholar, but a servant of the public, and must please them or starve." This image serves as a testament to Tree's unwavering commitment to his art and his ability to captivate audiences with his magnetic presence. With a career spanning over five decades, Tree left an indelible mark on the history of British theatre, and continues to be celebrated as one of its greatest performers.
