EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Royal Rival" transports us back to the Duke of Yorks Theatre in London during a performance that took place on August 31,1901. The scene depicted is the closing act of this thrilling play, filled with tension and drama. The image showcases two actors engaged in a sword fight on stage. On one side stands Mr. Norman McKinnel, portraying the King of Spain, while on the other side is Mr. Lewis Waller as Don Cesar de Bazan. Both actors are fully immersed in their roles, displaying incredible skill and intensity. In this climactic moment, we witness the Spanish Prime Minister surrendering to Don Cesar de Bazan's superior swordsmanship. The audience holds its breath as they watch this intense battle unfold before them. The level of detail captured by Allan Stewart's engraving allows us to appreciate not only the actors' expressions but also their costumes and gestures which add authenticity to the scene. This print offers a glimpse into an era when live performances were highly anticipated events for theater enthusiasts in London. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time and space, allowing us to experience moments from history firsthand even centuries later.
