EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of George Alexander, an influential English actor-manager who left an indelible mark on the British theatre scene during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1858 and departing this world in 1918, Alexander's career was defined by his association with Henry Irving's esteemed company. Renowned for his avant-garde approach to theater, Alexander fearlessly presented groundbreaking works such as Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan" in 1892 and Arthur Wing Pinero's "The Second Mrs Tanqueray". This photograph, published around 1890 using the Woodburytype technique, captures a moment frozen in time when Alexander stood at the pinnacle of his artistic prowess. With a commanding presence and undeniable charisma radiating from him, it is no wonder that he became one of Britain's most celebrated stage figures. His contributions to literature and British theater are immeasurable; he not only entertained audiences but also shaped theatrical trends through his innovative productions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to a period where actors like George Alexander reigned supreme on the grand stages of London. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and reminds us of their invaluable contribution to our cultural heritage.
