EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century postcard features the renowned English actress Mary Austin in her role as Galatea in the classic play "Pygmalion" by W.S. Gilbert. The image, taken during a theatrical production from the 1900s, showcases Austin's striking presence on stage. Dressed in an elegant white gown with a large bow and a stylized Art Nouveau hat adorned with flowers, Austin embodies the mythological character of Galatea, brought to life by the sculptor Pygmalion. The intricate border of the postcard adds to the overall artistry of the photograph, making it a beautiful and intriguing piece of theatre history. Austin's expressive pose and captivating gaze draw the viewer in, offering a glimpse into the magic of live entertainment during the Edwardian era. This postcard is a testament to the enduring allure of the stage and the captivating performances of its stars.
