EDITORS COMMENTS
John Henderson (1747-1785): The Bath Roscius in The Theatre Magazine, June 1886 John Henderson, an esteemed English actor of the 18th century, graced the cover of The Theatre Magazine in June 1886. Born in 1747, Henderson was affectionately known as the "Bath Roscius," a title bestowed upon him for his exceptional talent and dedication to the classical stage in the fashionable spa town of Bath. This evocative image captures Henderson in the prime of his career, dressed in the elaborate costume of a classical performer. The rich fabric, intricate details, and theatrical accessories all serve to highlight the drama and grandeur of the period. Henderson's intense gaze and expressive countenance convey a deep connection to his craft, hinting at the passion and commitment that made him a beloved figure on the English stage. The Theatre Magazine, published in the 1880s, was a leading periodical dedicated to the world of theatre. Its pages were filled with articles, reviews, and illustrations that celebrated the lives and works of prominent actors, playwrights, and theatrical productions of the time. The inclusion of John Henderson on its cover was a testament to his enduring legacy and the profound impact he had on the English theatrical scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when the power of live performance held sway over the hearts and minds of audiences. John Henderson's story serves as a reminder of the timeless allure of the stage and the indelible mark left by those who have graced it with their talent and dedication.
