EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures actress Florence Collingbourne in the title role of the play "San Toy" circa 1902. The image, taken by renowned artists Ellis & Walery, showcases Collingbourne's talent and beauty as she embodies a Chinese character on stage. In this vibrant portrait, we see a woman who effortlessly brings to life the theatrical concept of her character. The color and detail in her costume transport us to another time and place, evoking a sense of drama and entertainment that was prevalent in early 20th-century theatre. Collingbourne's portrayal is not only an artistic expression but also reflects the cultural fascination with China during that era. Her performance highlights the cross-cultural exchange happening at the time, where Western actors embraced roles from different countries. The photograph itself is a testament to both Collingbourne's acting prowess and the skillful artistry of Ellis & Walery. Their ability to capture her essence in this moment is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how theatre has always been a powerful medium for storytelling and bridging cultures. It serves as a timeless reminder of our shared humanity across borders and centuries. This print by O'Deá Dé represents an important piece of theatrical history – one that celebrates female talent, diversity on stage, and the enduring legacy left behind by performers like Florence Collingbourne.
