Maisie Gay, The Gay Victorian: A Snapshot of Comic Genius in 1920s London In this photograph from 1928, comic actress Maisie Gay poses in a Victorian-style dress, exuding an air of mischief and charm that made her a beloved figure on the London stage. The image, published on the front cover of The Sketch, showcases Maisie's unique ability to blend the old with the new, embodying the spirit of the Roaring Twenties while paying homage to a bygone era.
