EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of British actress Dame Ellen Terry, one of the leading Shakespearean actresses of her time. Taken in approximately 1863 by Lewis Carroll, better known as Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, this portrait showcases Terry's youthful beauty and undeniable talent. At just 16 years old, Ellen Terry married artist George Frederic Watts, who was 30 years her senior. However, their marriage ended in separation after only a year. In this image, she is depicted as Mrs. G. F. Watts during that brief period of matrimony. The oval-shaped monochrome photograph exudes elegance and grace as it immortalizes Terry's enchanting presence. Dressed in a stunning costume from the era, she embodies the spirit of a Victorian lady with an air of sophistication beyond her teenage years. Published in "The Saturday Book" edited by Leonard Russell in 1948, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Ellen Terry's contribution to literature and theater arts during the late 19th century. Her portrayal of iconic Shakespearean characters left an indelible mark on audiences worldwide. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to a time when young women like Ellen Terry defied societal norms to pursue their passion for acting. This print stands as a testament to her enduring legacy and reminds us all that true talent knows no boundaries or limitations.
