EDITORS COMMENTS
This cabinet card photograph features the renowned English actress, Lily Langtry, in the prime of her career during the late 19th century. Born Emily Louise Langtry on February 27, 1853, in Jersey, Channel Islands, she rose to prominence as a leading actress and socialite, known for her beauty, charm, and talent. In this image, taken around 1890, Lily is depicted in the midst of a theatrical performance, her expressive face and animated gestures conveying the intensity and passion of her character. Her elegant attire and refined demeanor are a testament to the sophistication and glamour of the Victorian era. Langtry's acting career began in earnest in the 1870s, and she quickly gained a reputation for her ability to captivate audiences with her performances. She made her London debut in 1873, and went on to appear in numerous productions on both sides of the Atlantic. Her most famous role was as the title character in the play "Mrs. Dene," which she performed over 1,000 times. Off the stage, Lily was a popular figure in high society, known for her beauty, wit, and charisma. She was the mistress of King Edward VII from 1874 to 1880, and was a close friend of many other prominent figures of the time, including Oscar Wilde and Sarah Bernhardt. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the life of a truly remarkable woman, whose talent and charisma continue to captivate audiences over a century after her prime. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document, offering a unique insight into the world of Victorian theater and the life of one of its most celebrated stars.
