EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the vibrant world of British theatre in the late 19th century. The image features two distinguished actors, Harry Nicholls and Herbert Campbell, who were renowned for their comedic performances on stage. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the Victorian era, they exude an air of confidence and charisma. Harry Nicholls and Herbert Campbell's portrayal of "the Queen and the King" is captured with remarkable detail by W&D Downey, a prominent photographer of his time. Their expressions convey a sense of mischief and playfulness, hinting at the delightful comedy that awaits audiences fortunate enough to witness their performance. The print comes from The Theatre, A Monthly Review - a publication that celebrated all aspects of theatrical arts during its time. This particular volume was published by Strand Publishing Company in London in 1888. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at the talent and dedication these actors brought to their craft. Their double act undoubtedly left audiences roaring with laughter as they skillfully brought characters to life on stage. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of entertainment throughout centuries past. It reminds us that even though times may change, there will always be artists like Harry Nicholls and Herbert Campbell who captivate our hearts through their performances on stage.
