EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features Mary Shaw as Alice, presented by the renowned English author J.M. Barrie, in a scene titled "Alice sits by the fire." The photograph, estimated to date back to around 1907, showcases Mary Shaw in an intimate setting, sitting by a cozy fireplace, engrossed in a book. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the soft glow of the fire casting a gentle light on her face. J.M. Barrie, the esteemed playwright and novelist, is best known for his iconic works, including "Peter Pan" and "The Little Minister." In this photograph, however, he steps away from his famous fantasies to present a more grounded and realistic portrayal of Mary Shaw as Alice. The image is reminiscent of the classic English parlor scenes often depicted in literature and art of the time. Ernest Shipman, a well-known theatrical producer and manager, is believed to have commissioned this photograph to promote one of Mary Shaw's stage performances. Despite the potential connection to the theater, the image maintains an air of tranquility and introspection, inviting viewers to imagine the story unfolding within the frame. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theater and the lives of the talented artists who brought literary works to life on stage. The image of Mary Shaw as Alice, presented by J.M. Barrie, is a beautiful and enchanting reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of a good book.
