EDITORS COMMENTS
This scene is taken from a production of William Shakespeare's "Henry VIII," performed at His Majesty's Theatre in London during the 1911 London Shakespeare Festival. The production, which opened in 1910 and was revived again in 1912, was led by renowned English actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who portrayed the powerful Cardinal Wolsey. In this image, King Henry VIII, played by Arthur Bourchier, engages in a conversation with Anne Bullen, portrayed by the talented Laura Cowie. The Queen, Violet Vanbrugh, looks on with a mixture of sadness and intrigue, while the rest of the court whispers and gossips in the background. The opulent setting, adorned with an ornate chandelier and sumptuous costumes, adds to the regal atmosphere of the scene. The Tudor-inspired theatrical design transports us back to the rich and complex world of Henry VIII's royal court. This photograph is a testament to the majesty and grandeur of the English theatrical tradition during the Edwardian era.
