EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bransby Williams, a renowned actor from the early 20th century. In this image, taken between 1911-1912 by Reinhold Thiele, Williams embodies the character of Fagin from Charles Dickens' iconic novel Oliver Twist. With his bearded face and dramatic attire, Williams brings to life the poverty-stricken criminal with startling authenticity. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of Edwardian entertainment. Williams' expressive gaze hints at the depth and complexity of his portrayal as Fagin, while his worn-out coat and jewelry evoke a sense of destitution. The cluttered table in the background further emphasizes the character's illicit activities. As an accomplished actor on both stage and screen, Bransby Williams was celebrated for his ability to embody diverse roles with remarkable skill. His performance as Fagin showcased his talent for bringing literary characters to life in a way that resonated deeply with audiences. This print is part of Penrose's Pictorial Annual 1911-1912 collection edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose in London. It serves as a testament to both Williams' exceptional acting prowess and Thiele's artistic vision in capturing such an evocative moment from one of Charles Dickens' most beloved works.
