EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Elizabeth Hartley in the role of Imoinda, a noble African princess from Aphra Behn's classic novel "Oroonoko." Hartley's portrayal of Imoinda in the late 18th century marked a significant moment in the history of British theatre, as she was one of the first actresses to play a leading African character in a major production. The novel, published in 1688, was extremely popular during the 18th and 19th centuries due to its exploration of themes of love, slavery, and colonialism. Imoinda, a princess from the fictional African kingdom of Oroonoko, falls in love with the title character, an enslaved prince, and their tragic romance forms the heart of the story. Hartley's portrayal of Imoinda was particularly noteworthy due to the social and political climate of the time. The transatlantic slave trade was still a major part of the British economy, and representations of African people in popular culture were often limited and derogatory. Hartley's performance challenged these stereotypes and offered a more nuanced portrayal of African characters. The photograph, taken in 1751, captures Hartley in the midst of a passionate scene, her expressive face and intense gaze conveying the depth of her character's emotions. The image is a testament to Hartley's talent as an actress and her ability to bring Imoinda to life on the stage, making her a trailblazer for African representation in British theatre. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Elizabeth Hartley's portrayal of Imoinda was a groundbreaking moment in the history of theatre and a powerful statement against the prevailing attitudes towards race and representation.
