Clancarty at the Lyric Theatre, 1907
Tom Taylors Clancarty was first produced as Lady Clancarty at the Olympic Theatre in 1874, with Henry Neville playing Lord Clancarty and Ada Cavendish playing Lady Clancarty. The later production in 1907, at the Lyric Theatre (shown here), was just called Clancarty with an entirely different cast. Lewis Waller as Lord Clancarty and Evelyn Millard as Lady Clancarty are shown in costumes of 1696, when the play is set. A remarkably late revival at the Lyric Theatre in London on 16th April 1907. Underneath the image (which is an illustration) it states that the photo is by Ellis and Walery, so presumably the image is based on a photograph. Ellis (1854 - 1930) specialised in theatrical photography and took a leading role in protecting the copyright of photographers, fighting several cases in the High Courts. He was one of the founders of the Copyright Union

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the 1907 production of Tom Taylor's "Clancarty" at the prestigious Lyric Theatre in London. The play, originally titled "Lady Clancarty" and first produced at the Olympic Theatre in 1874, featured Henry Neville as Lord Clancarty and Ada Cavendish as Lady Clancarty. In this later revival, Lewis Waller portrays Lord Clancarty, and Evelyn Millard captivates as Lady Clancarty, both dressed in authentic costumes of the year 1696, when the play is set. The photograph, taken by renowned theatrical photographers Ellis and Walery, captures a remarkable moment in theatrical history. The Lyric Theatre staged this production on the 16th of April, 1907. Ellis, known for his expertise in theatrical photography, played a pivotal role in protecting the copyright of photographers and even took several cases to the High Courts. He was also one of the founders of the Copyright Union.
