EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a moment in theatrical history between two influential figures of the Victorian era: Henry Irving (1838-1905), the legendary actor-manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, and Frederick Balsir Chatterton (1834-1886), theatre manager and proprietor of the Standard and Daily Telegraph newspapers. The setting is the rehearsal room of the Lyceum Theatre in 1884, with a bust of Shakespeare in the background serving as a silent witness to their conversation. In the foreground, Chatterton, wearing a top hat, is seen scolding Irving, who stands with his back to the camera, wearing a simple suit and holding a paper. Chatterton's words, spoken with a stern expression, are clear: "Don't spend too much time and money on that ungrateful old man. Look how he served me!" The context of this exchange is rooted in the intense competition between the two theatres, the Lyceum and the Standard Theatre, and the critical reviews that each theatre received in the other's newspapers. Irving, known for his exceptional Shakespearian acting, was a favorite target of Chatterton's criticism. Despite the apparent tension, this photograph offers a glimpse into the complex relationships that existed between theatres, actors, and the press during the late Victorian era. The bust of Shakespeare in the background serves as a reminder of the shared dedication to the Bard's works, even as the two men engaged in their professional rivalries.
