EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'Henry Irving as Louis XI' by Edward Gordon Craig, showcases the legendary British actor Henry Irving in a regal and enigmatic portrayal of the medieval French monarch, King Louis XI. Circa 1900, this image is a testament to the artistic collaboration between two visionaries of their time. Henry Irving (1838-1905) was a prominent figure in the Victorian theatre, known for his versatility and ability to bring complex characters to life. His portrayal of King Louis XI, a cunning and manipulative ruler, marked one of his most memorable performances. Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966), a renowned theatre designer and director, captured Irving's essence in this striking image. Craig's innovative approach to theatrical design and his emphasis on visual storytelling made him a pioneer in the world of theatre. The photograph print, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of theatre and the artistic partnership between two influential figures. The intricately detailed costume and the intense expression on Irving's face convey the depth and complexity of the character, making this image a must-have for any theatre or history enthusiast's collection. The 1900s were a period of great innovation in the world of theatre, and this photograph print is a testament to the artistic collaboration and creativity that defined the era. The image invites us to explore the fascinating world of Henry Irving and Edward Gordon Craig, two visionaries who left an indelible mark on the history of theatre.
