EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English theatrical actor-manager, George Alexander (1858-1918). Known for his avant-garde performances, Alexander's portrayal of Orlando in Shakespeare's "As You Like It" is captured here. With a knife in hand, he exudes intensity and passion on stage. Throughout his career, Alexander spent several years in Henry Irving's company before establishing himself as a prominent figure in the theater world. He presented remarkable performances of Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan" (1892) and Pinero's "The Second Mrs Tanqueray" showcasing his versatility as an actor. In this portrait, we see a glimpse into the 19th-century theatrical scene in England. The carefully designed dress and costume reflect the attention to detail that was characteristic of productions during this era. The stage set behind him adds depth to the image, transporting us to another time and place. George Alexander was not only an accomplished performer but also a talented manager who played a significant role in shaping British theater. His contributions to literature through his interpretations of Shakespearean works solidified his legacy as one of Britain's finest actors. This stunning print captures George Alexander at the height of his career, immortalizing him as an influential figure in English theater history.
