EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of "Peter the Great" a new play performed at the prestigious Lyceum theater. Created by Samuel Begg, an acclaimed artist from the late 19th century, this print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us back to January 8,1898, when "Peter the Great" was brought to life on stage. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration as a testament to the grandeur and excitement surrounding this theatrical production. As we gaze upon this image, we are introduced to a cast of talented actors who bring their characters to life with remarkable skill. Miss Ellen Terry takes center stage as she embodies Empress Catherine with grace and elegance. Alongside her stands Sir Henry Irving, portraying Peter the Great himself with commanding presence. The intricate engravings beautifully capture every nuance of emotion displayed by these esteemed performers. Their costumes exude opulence while transporting us into Imperial Russia's lavish court during Peter's reign. Begg's lithograph allows us a glimpse into both history and artistry simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that theater has always been an enchanting medium for storytelling throughout time. This stunning print is now part of a private collection but continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
