1840s 1848 Armour Brooke Characters Gloucester Gustavus Norfolk Pose Richmond Role Shakespeare Shakespearean Vaughan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases four distinguished actors portraying pivotal characters from William Shakespeare's historical play, 'Richard III.' The image, captured in the 1840s, features Gustavus Vaughan Brooke (top and bottom left) in the dual roles of the Duke of Gloucester and Richard III. Brooke, an Irish actor, masterfully brought to life the complexities and intrigues of these iconic Shakespearean characters. Adjacent to Brooke, we find Mr. H Lee (Earl of Norfolk) and Mr. Hall (Henry, Duke of Richmond). Each actor exudes an air of regal authority, their expressions and poses conveying the political machinations and power struggles that define the play. The actors are dressed in authentic Victorian-era costumes, complete with intricately designed armor, helmets, and swords. The Duke of Gloucester, with a sinister glint in his eye, clutches his sword menacingly, while the Duke of Richmond, determined and resolute, raises his sword in a defiant gesture. The Earl of Norfolk, standing between the two dukes, appears to be in deep thought, perhaps contemplating his next move in the political chess game that unfolds on the Elizabethan stage. The dimly lit theatre setting adds an atmosphere of intrigue and suspense, further enhancing the drama and tension of the scene. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theatre during the Victorian era, allowing us to witness the captivating performances of these talented actors as they brought to life the complex and timeless characters from 'Richard III.'
