EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, dated 1895, captures a theatrical lodging house keeper expressing her pride and joy upon hearing the news of Sir Henry Irving's knighthood. The image, published in a newspaper, depicts the humble yet significant role of a theatrical lodging house keeper in the theatrical world. The theatrical profession was a close-knit community where everyone played a crucial part, from the renowned actors to the unassuming lodging house keepers. This print beautifully encapsulates the sense of camaraderie and shared identity within this community. The lodging house keeper, with a warm smile and a sense of pride, acknowledges the recognition bestowed upon Sir Henry Irving as a compliment to their shared profession. Sir Henry Irving, a legendary actor of the Victorian era, was knighted by King Edward VII for his services to the theatre. The occasion was a historic moment in the annals of British theatre, and the news spread far and wide, reaching even the humblest corners of the theatrical world. This poignant sketch serves as a reminder of the rich history and intricate web of connections that existed within the theatrical community during the late 19th century. It also highlights the importance of every individual, no matter how small their role, in the grand scheme of the theatrical world. The lodging house keeper's identification with Sir Henry Irving's achievement is a testament to the sense of belonging and shared pride that existed among the theatrical community during this era.
