EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this promotional postcard of Lewis Waller as Henry V in William Shakespeare's iconic play, produced at the Imperial Theatre in 1905. The image, painted by the renowned artist Arthur Hacker, showcases Waller in all his regal glory, donning a chainmail shirt and a richly embroidered cloak, adorned with the symbols of his royal power. Waller, the leading matinee idol of his day, was perfectly cast in the role of the charismatic and resolute monarch. The theatrical production of Henry V, a play filled with drama and intrigue, was a popular success during the early 1900s. The pantomime, or panto, as it was often referred to, was a form of entertainment that brought Shakespeare's powerful words to life on the stage. The audience was transported to the battlefields of France and the halls of power in England, as Waller's portrayal of Henry V commanded their attention. Arthur Hacker's painting captures the essence of the play, with its regal and regal atmosphere. The artist's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, bring the image to life, making it a true work of art. This postcard is not only a reminder of a bygone era in theatre history, but also a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's words and the captivating performances of the actors who brought them to life. Join us in reliving the magic of this iconic production, as we take a moment to appreciate the artistry of both Lewis Waller and Arthur Hacker, and the timeless storytelling of William Shakespeare.
