1908 Actor Cabinet Card Hodge Napoleon Plaid Rear View Sarony Suit Suitcase Top Hat Traveler Umbrella William Turn Of Century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white studio portrait captures the essence of William Hodge, a prominent American actor and playwright from the early 20th century. Dressed in a stylish suit with a plaid pattern, Hodge stands confidently, exuding an air of sophistication and charm. His rear view pose adds an intriguing touch to the composition, leaving us curious about his character's story. The photograph is taken by the renowned studio of Napoleon Sarony in New York City around 1908. Sarony was known for his exceptional talent in capturing the personalities of his subjects through portraiture. In this image, he skillfully portrays Hodge as a distinguished traveler with all the trappings of elegance - a top hat perched on his head, an umbrella held firmly in one hand, and a suitcase at his side. Hodge's portrayal here is reminiscent of one of his famous roles in "The Man From Home" showcasing both his acting prowess and fashion sense. The play itself explores themes of adventure and identity against the backdrop of North America during that era. This cabinet card print offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century entertainment culture while also serving as a testament to Hodge's enduring legacy as an influential figure in American theater history.
