1864 Allington Anthony Hand Shake Holds Meeting Trollope Upper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library in 1864, depicts a significant moment from Anthony Trollope's beloved novel, "The Small House at Allington." In the image, Mr. Lupex (played by actor Henry Aylward) extends his hand in a formal greeting to Mr. Cradell (played by actor Henry Aysgarth), marking the beginning of an important alliance in the story. Set in the picturesque English countryside of Barsetshire, Trollpe's novel follows the romantic entanglements and social intrigues of the gentry class. In this scene, Mr. Lupex, a wealthy and influential landowner, offers his support to Mr. Cradell, a young clergyman, in his pursuit of Lady Bellamont's hand in marriage. The setting of the scene is the small, elegant house at Allington, which serves as the backdrop for much of the novel's drama. The house, with its grand facade and manicured gardens, represents the opulence and prestige of the English aristocracy. Mr. Lupex, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, holds out his hand with a confident and warm smile, while Mr. Cradell, dressed in his clerical robes, looks slightly apprehensive but determined. The contrast between their clothing and demeanor highlights the stark differences between the worlds of the landed gentry and the clergy. The image, with its intriguing narrative and rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of 19th-century England and the complexities of the human relationships that defined the era. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable piece of literary and historical history.
