EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and appreciation between two prominent figures of Victorian England: Archbishop Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Augustus Harris, a British actor, dramatist, and impresario. The image, taken in 1883, depicts the Archbishop extending a warm handshake to Harris in congratulations. The occasion for this celebratory gesture was the successful portrayal of the clergy in Harris's play "Youth," which he co-wrote with Paul John Meritt in 1881. The play, set in the Anglican church, was praised for its vivid and realistic depiction of the clergy, striking a chord with audiences during the 1880s. The Archbishop, recognizing the importance of accurate and authentic portrayals of the clergy in the theatre, was pleased with Harris's effort and took the time to express his admiration. This photograph stands as a testament to the unique collaboration between the religious and artistic communities during this period, highlighting the power of art to bridge the gap between faith and entertainment.
