EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a moment of intense drama on the stage of the Lyceum Theatre in London, 1892. English actors Henry Irving and William Haviland are shown in a production of Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, King Lear. The image showcases their remarkable talent as they bring to life the complex characters and emotions of this iconic play. Henry Irving, known for his powerful performances, portrays King Lear with great intensity. His commanding presence is evident as he dons regal attire befitting a monarch driven to madness by betrayal and loss. Beside him stands William Haviland, who embodies the role of the Fool with wit and charm. The scene depicted hints at the turmoil that unfolds throughout the play - a storm rages outside while chaos reigns within Lear's mind. The use of light and shadow adds an atmospheric touch, emphasizing both the physical tempest and Lear's inner turmoil. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Black & White magazine in November 1892, showcasing its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era theater culture where audiences were captivated by grand productions such as this one. As we admire this print today, we are reminded not only of these talented actors but also of Shakespeare's enduring impact on literature and performance arts worldwide.
