EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Jessie Millward, a renowned actress of the late Victorian era, graces the cover of The Theatre Magazine's April 1886 issue, in character as Lady Constance Cholmondeley from the popular play, The Harbour Lights. The sepia-toned photograph captures Millward's captivating presence and impeccable acting skills, as she dons an elegant Victorian costume adorned with intricate beading and lace. Her expressive eyes convey a depth of emotion, drawing the viewer into the world of the stage. The Harbour Lights, a melodrama by George R. Sims, was first performed at the Royalty Theatre in London in 1885 and quickly became a critical and commercial success. Millward's portrayal of Lady Constance, a wealthy and passionate woman torn between her love for a penniless sailor and her duty to her family, captivated audiences and solidified her status as a leading actress of her time. The Theatre Magazine, a prestigious publication for theatre enthusiasts, regularly featured the most talented actors and actresses of the era, providing a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre. This photograph of Miss Jessie Millward in character as Lady Constance Cholmondeley is a testament to her artistry and the enduring appeal of the late Victorian stage.
