EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense and regal presence of English actor Lewis Waller as he portrays the iconic role of King Henry V in a theatrical production from the early 1900s. Dressed in full regalia, complete with crown and scepter, Waller exudes an air of authority and determination, embodying the courage and leadership of Shakespeare's famous monarch. Henry V, one of Shakespeare's history plays, tells the story of King Henry's military campaign in France and his efforts to unite his kingdom in the face of adversity. Waller's portrayal of the king's transformation from a wayward prince to a respected and revered monarch resonated with audiences of the time, making this production a critical and commercial success. The photograph, taken during the rehearsal or performance of the play, provides a glimpse into the world of early 20th century theatre. The ornate set and period costumes, as well as the serious expression on Waller's face, transport us back to a time when live theatre was the primary form of entertainment and the stage was a place where the greatest actors of the day brought Shakespeare's timeless stories to life. Lewis Waller (1860-1946) was a prominent figure in the British theatre scene, known for his versatility and range as an actor. He appeared in numerous productions throughout his long and distinguished career, including roles in classic plays by Shakespeare, Sheridan, and Wilde. This photograph is a testament to his talent and dedication to his craft, and serves as a reminder of the power of live theatre to transport us to other worlds and times.
