EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of William Hunter Kendal, an English actor-manager of the late 19th century, in the role of Will Kemp in the play "Hornet," written by Henry Arthur Jones and first produced in 1898. Kendal, born in 1843, was a prominent figure in the theatrical world of his time, known for his versatility and charisma on stage. He began his career as an extra in the 1860s and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a manager in his own right. The image, taken in 1872, shows Kendal in the prime of his acting career, exuding confidence and energy as he performs the comic role of Will Kemp. Dressed in the colorful costume of the Elizabethan era, Kendal's expressive face and animated body language bring the character to life. The photograph, taken during a rehearsal or a matinee performance, offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of Victorian theatre. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of English theatre and the enduring appeal of classic plays. It also serves as a reminder of the talent and dedication of actors like Kendal, who captivated audiences with their performances and left a lasting legacy in the world of theatre. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the life and career of a remarkable actor and manager. It is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of English theatre or the life and work of William Hunter Kendal.
