EDITORS COMMENTS
Beatrice Lamb as Niobe: A Late Victorian Actress in the Role of a Classical Tragedy Queen Beatrice Lamb (1868-1949), an English actress of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras, is captured in this stunning photograph as she portrays the tragic figure of Niobe from the Greek myth. The image, taken in the 1890s, showcases Lamb's captivating stage presence and her ability to embody the depth and emotion of this classical character. Niobe, a queen of Thebes, was famously punished by the gods for her arrogant boast about having more children than Leto, the goddess of childbirth. In revenge, Leto's children, Apollo and Artemis, killed Niobe's seven sons and seven daughters. This tragic story was a popular subject for the theatre during the Victorian era, and Beatrice Lamb's interpretation of the role left a lasting impression on audiences. The photograph, taken during a rehearsal or a performance, captures Lamb in the midst of a powerful emotional scene. Her expressive face, tear-streaked cheeks, and the flowing drapery of her costume all contribute to the sense of raw emotion and intensity that she brings to the character. The backdrop of the theatre stage, with its ornate columns and red velvet curtains, further emphasizes the classical setting and the grandeur of the role. This photograph is a testament to Beatrice Lamb's talent as an actress and her ability to connect with audiences through her powerful performances. It also provides a glimpse into the world of late Victorian theatre and the way in which classical roles were interpreted and brought to life on the stage.
