EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dapper and charismatic figure of Augustus Harris, a British actor and dramatist, as he graced the pages of The Theatre Magazine in June 1886. The image, taken during the time of the debut of his groundbreaking play, "Human Nature," co-written with the esteemed playwright Pettitt, showcases Harris in the prime of his career. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1880s, Harris dons a smart bowtie and wing collar, exuding an air of sophistication and confidence. The sepia tone of the image adds to the vintage charm, transporting us back to a bygone era of theatre and literature. At the time, Harris was a rising star on the London stage, known for his performances and innovative productions. "Human Nature," a thought-provoking and socially relevant play, marked a significant milestone in his career and solidified his place as a leading figure in the world of Victorian theatre. The Theatre Magazine, a renowned publication of the time, recognized Harris's talent and featured him on its cover, highlighting his accomplishments and showcasing his image to its wide readership. This photograph serves as a testament to Harris's enduring legacy as an actor, author, and playwright, and a reminder of the rich history of British theatre during the late 19th century.
