EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Return of Sir Henry Irving, M Sardous 'Robespierre' at the Lyceum" transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of performing arts. The image showcases an illustration for The Graphic newspaper dated 22 April 1899. In this scene, we witness a dramatic moment from the play "Robespierre" as performed at the renowned Lyceum Theatre. Miss Ellen Terry takes center stage in a gripping death scene, her portrayal capturing hearts and minds alike. Surrounding her are other notable actors of their time: Mr Kyrle Bellew as Olivier, Sir Henry Irving himself as Robespierre, and Miss Winifred Fraser as Marie Therese. The atmosphere is filled with tension and emotion as these talented performers bring to life the tumultuous events of the French Revolution's National Convention. The engraving skillfully captures every detail - from the expressions on each character's face to their elaborate costumes. This print not only serves as a testament to English School's artistic prowess but also provides us with a window into historical theater productions that captivated audiences over a century ago. It allows us to appreciate both the talent of these actors and their dedication in bringing stories like "Robespierre" alive on stage. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this lithograph continues to remind us of our rich cultural heritage and how art has always had the power to transport us through time.
