EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Lewis Waller's portrayal of King Henry V in a 1906 theatrical production. Waller, a renowned English actor of the early 1900s, masterfully brought to life Shakespeare's iconic monarch in this illustration. Dressed in ornate medieval armor, Waller's regal presence exudes authority and determination. The intricately designed crown atop his head symbolizes the weight of the monarchy and the responsibility that comes with ruling a kingdom. The background of the image is set against a fanciful, yet historical, backdrop, with banners and pennants adorning the walls and a battle scene unfolding in the distance. The soldier in the foreground, gazing up at Henry V, serves as a reminder of the king's duty to lead his soldiers into battle and protect his people. This photograph, taken by Percy Anderson in 1906, is a testament to the grandeur and spectacle of Shakespearean theatre during the Edwardian era. The Middle Ages come alive on stage, transporting audiences back in time to a world of chivalry, honor, and courage. Waller's powerful performance as Henry V solidified his place in the annals of theatrical history, leaving a lasting impact on both his contemporaries and future generations of actors. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Shakespeare's plays and the art of live theatre.
