EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Elizabeth Yates, born Brunton (1799-1860), in the role of Miss Hardcastle from Oliver Goldsmith's beloved play, "She Stoops to Conquer." Dated around 1818, this photograph captures the English actress in the height of her career during the 1810s. The play, a popular staple in London theatres, tells the story of a young man, Marlow, who, under the guise of a country squire, attempts to woo the refined Kate Hardcastle. However, it is her rough and boisterous sister, Miss Hardcastle, portrayed by Yates, who ultimately captures his heart. The image reveals Yates' striking features, including her piercing eyes, defined cheekbones, and a confident smile that radiates charm and wit. She is dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, donning a high-waisted gown and a stylish bonnet adorned with a connoisseur's feather. The intricate details of her costume, along with the rich textures of the set and the warm lighting, transport us back to the stage of a London theatre in the early 19th century. Elizabeth Yates' portrayal of Miss Hardcastle was widely acclaimed, with critics praising her ability to bring both humor and depth to the character. Her performance as the spirited and unconventional Miss Hardcastle solidified her place as a beloved actress of the era. This photograph is a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of Goldsmith's classic play.
