EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned English actress Lillie Langtry, captured by the talented artists W&D Downey in 1899-1900. Langtry's fame extended far beyond her acting skills, as she was famously known for her scandalous relationship with the Prince of Wales, who would later become King Edward VII. The image is part of a publication titled "Celebrities of the Stage" edited by Boyle Lawrence and published by George Newnes Limited in London during that period. In this vibrant color print, Langtry stands elegantly dressed in a stunning pink costume adorned with exquisite jewelry. Her fiery red hair beautifully contrasts against her fair complexion, drawing attention to her captivating presence on stage. A fan delicately held in one hand adds an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Langtry's portrait captures not only her beauty but also represents an era when theater and entertainment were at their peak. As a prominent figure in British society, she symbolizes both glamour and controversy. The photograph serves as a testament to Langtry's enduring legacy as an accomplished actress and influential personality of the late 19th century Victorian era. It offers us a glimpse into the world of performing arts during that time while showcasing Langtry's undeniable talent and allure as one of Britain's most celebrated actresses.
