EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper from September 27, 1890, showcases the betrothal scene from the new play "Ravenswood" at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London. The image, which is a engraving, transports us back to the Victorian era and offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century acting and entertainment. The scene is set against the backdrop of a grand, ornate stage, with the couple standing in the center, dressed in elegant Victorian attire. The man, with a serious expression, holds out a bouquet of flowers to his fiancée, who gazes at him with a look of love and adoration. The woman's flowing dress, adorned with intricate lace and beading, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. The Lyceum Theatre was a prominent playhouse in the West End of London, known for producing high-quality plays and attracting some of the most talented actors and actresses of the era. "Ravenswood" was undoubtedly one of the theatre's most anticipated productions, and the betrothal scene was likely a crowd-pleaser, eliciting gasps and tears from the audience. This print, which is part of The Graphic's collection from July to December, 1890, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the concept of love and marriage during this time period. The image is a reminder of the power of the stage to transport us to another time and place and to evoke strong emotions.
