EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 20th century, capturing the timeless beauty of one of history's most renowned actresses - Sarah Bernhardt. The portrait, taken in 1906 by the esteemed London-based photo studio W. & D. Downey, showcases Bernhardt's undeniable allure and charisma. Sarah Bernhardt, born in 1844 and departing from this world in 1923, was a true icon of her time. Known for her exceptional talent on stage and her striking presence off it, she left an indelible mark on the world of theater. This photograph perfectly encapsulates her enigmatic persona. The fine art image emanates a sense of elegance and sophistication that mirrors both Bernhardt's own personality as well as the era she lived in. The albumin photo technique employed here adds depth to every detail captured by Downey's lens. Housed within a private collection today, this portrait serves as a testament to Sarah Bernhardt's enduring legacy. It is a reminder not only of her immense contribution to performing arts but also of the power that photography holds in preserving moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of British photographic history, we are transported into an era where glamour met artistic expression – where Sarah Bernhardt reigned supreme as one of the greatest actors who ever graced the stage.
