EDITORS COMMENTS
Lillie Langtry, the celebrated English actress and socialite, graces the cover of The Theatre Magazine in this image from January 1885. In this photograph, Langtry is depicted as Pauline, a character from an unspecified theatrical production. Dressed in a stunning white gown, Langtry exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The high collar and long sleeves of her dress are adorned with intricate lace detailing, while a delicate feather hat sits atop her glossy, dark curls. The late Victorian era, in which this photograph was taken, was a time of great change and innovation in the world of theatre. Actors and actresses, like Lillie Langtry, were becoming celebrities in their own right, and theatres were transforming into more elaborate and ornate spaces. Langtry's popularity extended beyond the stage, as she was also known for her beauty and charisma, which drew the attention of high society and the press. This sepia-toned print captures Langtry in the midst of her theatrical career, with a hint of the glamour and allure that made her a sensation of the late 1800s. The Theatre Magazine, a leading publication of the time, showcased the latest news, reviews, and gossip from the world of theatre, making this image a valuable document of both Lillie Langtry's career and the cultural landscape of the late Victorian era.
