EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the renowned British actor, Mr. William J. Rea, in the iconic role of Abraham Lincoln during a performance at the Lyric Opera House in Hammersmith, London, in 1919. Rea's powerful portrayal of the 16th President of the United States was brought to life through the play "Abraham Lincoln" by John Drinkwater. The image showcases Rea in various stages of the production, from the offer of the Presidency in 1860 to Lincoln's tragic death in 1865. Rea's commitment to the character is evident in the depth of emotion and authenticity conveyed through each expression. The Lyric Opera House, a historic venue in Hammersmith, provided the perfect setting for this groundbreaking production. Rea's portrayal of Lincoln was not only a testament to his exceptional acting skills but also a significant contribution to the historical record. John Drinkwater's play, which premiered in London in 1918, was a critical and commercial success, and Rea's performance as Lincoln was widely acclaimed. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in both theatrical and American history. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of live theatre to transport audiences and bring historical figures to life in a way that resonates with generations. William J. Rea's portrayal of Abraham Lincoln at the Lyric Opera House in 1919 remains a landmark moment in the annals of American and theatrical history.
