EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lily Langtry in the pivotal roles of Act II and Act III of A Society Butterfly, a theatrical production that premiered at the Opera Comique in London in 1894. The play, written by Robert Buchanan with music by Henry Murray, showcased Langtry's exceptional acting abilities and her stunning wardrobe designed by the renowned fashion house of Worth. Langtry, an English actress and socialite, was known for her beauty, charm, and impeccable sense of style. In A Society Butterfly, she portrayed the character of a socialite who uses her allure to manipulate and deceive those around her. The production was a grand spectacle, with elaborate sets, a large cast, and extravagant costumes. The gowns worn by Langtry in this photograph are a testament to the opulence of the production and the skill of the Worth design team. The intricate beading, delicate lacework, and elegant silhouettes are all on full display, reflecting the height of fashion in the late 1800s. Unfortunately, the failure of A Society Butterfly led directly to Buchanan's bankruptcy. Despite the financial setback, the production solidified Langtry's status as a leading actress of the time and showcased her unique ability to captivate audiences with her performances and her style. This photograph is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the world of late 19th-century theatre and the enduring legacy of a remarkable actress and her iconic costumes.
