EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures English actor Fred Terry in a captivating production of The Scarlet Pimpernel, dating back to 1905. The image showcases Terry's remarkable talent as he takes on the role of Sir Percy Blakeney, the enigmatic hero of Baroness Orczy's famous play. With his commanding presence and skillful acting, Terry brings this iconic character to life on stage. The scene depicted in the photograph is set during the French Revolution, where Sir Percy Blakeney disguises himself as an old crone to pass through a checkpoint guarded by French soldiers. Surrounding him are various farm animals, including horses, racehorses, ponies, and even a shire horse. These animals add depth and authenticity to the theatrical performance. The postcard-like quality of this early 20th-century print adds a touch of nostalgia and historical significance. It serves as a testament to both Terry's exceptional talent and the enduring popularity of The Scarlet Pimpernel. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in British theater history. This image not only celebrates Fred Terry's contribution to performing arts but also offers us a glimpse into Edwardian entertainment culture that continues to captivate audiences today.
