EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Johnston Forbes-Robertson graces the cover of The Theatre Magazine in May 1883. Johnston Forbes-Robertson (1853-1931) was an English actor and theatre manager who rose to prominence during the late Victorian era. With his striking good looks, sharp intellect, and magnetic stage presence, Forbes-Robertson quickly became a favorite among London's theatre-going public. In this sepia photograph, Forbes-Robertson is depicted in a smart, tailored jacket, his young, handsome face framed by a neatly trimmed beard. The profile view emphasizes the intensity of his gaze, suggesting the depth of emotion he could convey on stage. Forbes-Robertson was known for his versatility as an actor, excelling in both classical and contemporary roles. He also made a name for himself as a theatre manager, producing and directing plays that showcased the best of Victorian theatre. The Theatre Magazine was a leading publication for theatre enthusiasts in the 1880s, providing news, reviews, and interviews with the biggest names in the industry. This image of Forbes-Robertson would have been a tantalizing preview of his upcoming performances, generating excitement and anticipation among readers. The photograph captures a moment in time when Forbes-Robertson was at the height of his career, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of live theatre in the late Victorian era.
