EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in the performing arts world of the 19th century. The image showcases a Complimentary Dinner held at St James's Hall, honoring the esteemed actor Mr Henry Irving. The event, beautifully sketched by an anonymous English artist, took place on July 14,1883. The scene is filled with elegance and grandeur as distinguished guests gather to pay tribute to Mr Irving's remarkable talent and contributions to stagecraft. Among those present are notable figures such as Madame Antoinette Sterling, Mr Santlay, and even Chairman Toole. Their presence adds an air of sophistication and prestige to this memorable occasion. As we observe this enchanting print, our eyes are drawn to Mr Irving himself - adorned in his finest attire - responding graciously to the proposal made by a lady seated beside him. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as all heads turn towards them. The setting itself exudes opulence; the hall decorated lavishly for this special evening. Ladies dressed in their most fashionable gowns grace the stage while literature and art enthusiasts fill every corner of St James's Hall. This engraving not only immortalizes a momentous event but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact that actors like Mr Henry Irving had on both London's cultural landscape and society at large during that era.
