EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned British actress, Lady Martin, or Helena Faucit, as she was known in the late 1800s. The image, believed to have been created around the turn of the 20th century, is an engraving based on a photograph. Lady Martin, born Helena Saville Faucit in 1817, was a celebrated figure in Victorian England's theatrical world. Her acting career spanned over four decades, during which she graced the stages of London's most prestigious theatres, including the Covent Garden Theatre and the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Lady Martin was particularly admired for her portrayal of tragic heroines, earning her the moniker "The English Siddons," in reference to the famous English actress, Maria Fitzherbert, who was renowned for her tragic roles. Her performances were described as "magnificent," "sublime," and "heartrending," leaving audiences in awe of her talent and emotional depth. This engraving is taken from Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX, published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. The book, which is a significant historical record, features numerous illustrations of notable figures from British history. This print of Lady Martin serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as a celebrated actress and a cultural icon of her time. Despite the lack of information about the creator of this print, it remains a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to the arts, literature, and entertainment of the Victorian era.
