EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Henry Forrester, a prominent Shakespearean actor of the Victorian era. Born as Henry Frost in 1827, Forrester adopted the stage name Henry Forrester and made a name for himself as a talented and dedicated performer. The image, taken in 1882, showcases Forrester in his prime, with a distinguished moustache, glasses perched on his nose, and a smart bowtie adorning his collar. Forrester's piercing gaze and serious expression convey the intensity and focus required of a Shakespearean actor. During the 1880s, Forrester was a regular presence on the London stage, gracing the boards of some of the city's most prestigious theatres. He was known for his versatility and ability to bring complex characters to life, earning him critical acclaim and the admiration of his peers. Forrester's performances in works by Shakespeare, as well as other classic playwrights, were marked by their depth, nuance, and emotional resonance. In this portrait, Forrester is shown during an interlude or "entracte," a brief pause in the performance that allowed the audience to catch their breath and prepare for the next act. The image captures the quiet intensity of the moment, as Forrester, the consummate professional, takes a moment to collect himself before returning to the stage to once again transport his audience to the world of Shakespeare and beyond.
