Sir George Alexander - The Avant-Garde Actor-Manager of the Edwardian Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 20th century, where Sir George Alexander, a renowned theatrical actor-manager, takes center stage. Captured in 1911-1912 by Alfred Ellis & Walery, this image showcases Alexander's commanding presence and avant-garde persona. Known for his groundbreaking performances and innovative approach to theater, Sir George Alexander was considered a trailblazer of his time. Having spent years in Henry Irving's company honing his craft, he presented remarkable productions such as Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan" (1892) and Pinero's "The Second Mrs Tanqueray". Dressed impeccably in an Edwardian suit with a casual yet confident posture, Alexander exudes charm and charisma. With one hand casually tucked into his pocket and a hat adding an air of sophistication to his ensemble, he epitomizes the elegance of the era. This print from Penrose's Pictorial Annual offers us a glimpse into the world of entertainment during that period. It captures not only Sir George Alexander but also reflects on the thriving performing arts scene at that time. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece created by Alfred Ellis & Walery under AW Penrose's publication guidance and edited by William Gamble, we are reminded of Sir George Alexander’s lasting impact on theater history. His legacy as an influential actor-manager continues to inspire generations within the realm of performing arts today.
