EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Captivating Moment in The Eternal City by Hall Caine (1902) In this evocative photograph, the enchanting cityscape of Rome unfolds before us, as depicted in Hall Caine's popular play, "The Eternal City," written in 1902. The image captures a pivotal moment from Act IV, scene 3, as Roma, the central character, stands in awe and reverence with the Pope in the loggia of the Castle of St. Angelo. The man in the foreground, dressed in papal robes, gestures towards the woman, Roma, who is on her knees, her arms outstretched and her gaze fixed on the horizon. Behind them, a group of women, dressed in traditional Roman attire, look on with curiosity and anticipation. The sun sets over the city, casting a warm, golden glow on the ancient architecture, as if to underscore the timeless beauty and allure of the Eternal City. This theatrical moment, frozen in time, invites us to ponder the deeper meaning behind Roma's interaction with the Pope. Is she seeking forgiveness, or is she being granted a blessing? The answer is left to the viewer's imagination, adding to the intrigue and appeal of Hall Caine's enduring work. This photograph, a captivating snapshot from the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the world of popular entertainment during that era, where the stage was a place of wonder, excitement, and escape. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the magic of the theatre, as well as the eternal allure of Rome and its rich history.
