EDITORS COMMENTS
Priscilla Kemble, née Hopkins (1756-1831), a prominent English actress of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is depicted in this image as she takes on the role of Lavinia in William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. The photograph, taken in the year 1845, captures the intensity and emotion of Kemble's performance, as she portrays the tragic character who endures unimaginable suffering at the hands of her enemies. Born into a theatrical family, Kemble made her debut on the stage at the age of 14. She later married the renowned actor John Philip Kemble in 1782, forming one of the most celebrated acting partnerships of the time. Their collaboration saw them perform together in many productions, including Shakespeare's plays, which were highly acclaimed for their authenticity and depth. In the image, Kemble's expressive eyes and heartfelt delivery convey the sorrow and despair of Lavinia, whose hands have been severed and tongue cut out, leaving her unable to speak of the horrors she has endured. The photograph offers a glimpse into the remarkable talent and skill of Priscilla Kemble as an actress, as she brings Lavinia's story to life on the stage. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a remarkable actress and her powerful portrayal of one of Shakespeare's most enduring characters. It serves as a testament to the artistry and passion that defined the theatrical landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
