EDITORS COMMENTS
Madge Lessing, the acclaimed English actress and singer, is captured in this striking photograph as she brings the character of Aurora Bruce to life on stage at the Prince of Wales Theatre in New York during her successful 1904 run. Dressed in a daring and fashion-forward tuxedo, Lessing defied the conventions of her time by wearing trousers on stage, adding an air of modernity and nonchalant charm to her performance. Born in London in 1862, Lessing began her career in music hall entertainment before transitioning to the stage. Her talent and versatility as a performer earned her critical acclaim and a devoted following. This photograph, taken during her time in America, showcases her confidence and ability to captivate audiences with her bold and unconventional choices. Lessing's decision to wear trousers on stage was a daring one, as women's fashion at the time dictated that they wear dresses and skirts. However, she saw the potential in the tuxedo to add depth and complexity to her character, and her fearless approach to fashion paved the way for future generations of performers to challenge gender norms and push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on stage. This photograph is a testament to Lessing's groundbreaking career and her enduring influence on the world of entertainment. Her bold and innovative spirit continues to inspire artists and performers today, reminding us that sometimes the most powerful statements are made through the clothes we wear.
