EDITORS COMMENTS
Sarah Booth, a celebrated English actress of the early 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcolored stipple copperplate engraving as she portrayed the character Christine in the play "Love in Humble Life" at the prestigious Theatre Royal Covent Garden in London. The engraving, created by Robert Cooper after a painting by Michael William Sharp, is a captivating testament to Booth's talent and the theatrical artistry of the time. Booth's expressive face and emotive body language convey the depth of emotion and passion that she brought to the stage as Christine. Her delicate features, framed by loose curls, and her piercing gaze, convey the intensity of her character's love and longing. The intricate details of her costume, with its flowing fabric and elegant accessories, add to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. "Love in Humble Life" was a popular play during the Romantic era, and Booth's performance as Christine was widely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. The play, which told the story of a humble servant girl who falls in love with her master, resonated deeply with the public, and Booth's portrayal of the character was seen as a masterclass in acting. This engraving, which is part of the D. Terry's British Theatrical Gallery collection, is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century British theatre and the extraordinary talents of its leading actors. The intricacy and beauty of the handcoloring add an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art in its own right.
