The Queen's Eightieth Birthday, the Matinee at Her Majesty's Theatre
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print that captures a momentous occasion in British history. Created by William Hatherell and now part of a private collection, this artwork transports us back to May 27,1899. The scene depicted showcases the grandeur and patriotism surrounding Queen Victoria's milestone birthday celebration. The audience eagerly fills Her Majesty's Theatre in London, buzzing with excitement as they await the start of the matinee performance. Military schools and armed forces personnel are present, representing their dedication to serving their country. Mr. Beerbohm Tree takes center stage as he leads an enchanting performance, while the crowd listens intently. As the national anthem echoes through the theater, hearts swell with pride for their beloved queen. Intriguingly, this print also reveals technological advancements of its time - an electrophone can be seen on one side of the image. This device allowed audiences to listen to live performances from remote locations via telephone lines. Hatherell masterfully captures every detail in his engraving: from naval officers resplendent in their uniforms to army troops standing tall with honor. It is a testament not only to artistic skill but also commemorates an extraordinary moment when people came together to celebrate their monarch’s eightieth year. This lithograph serves as both a historical record and a reminder of Britain's enduring loyalty towards its royal family – capturing a snapshot of unity and reverence during Queen Victoria’s
