Arthur Character Dressing Olive Role Tulloch Miss
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1890s, Olive Tulloch transforms herself into the regal figure of Prince Arthur. The late Victorian era actress, known for her versatility and talent on the stage, dons an intricately designed costume and assumes the pose of a confident and commanding monarch. Seated in a grand, ornate chair, Tulloch's expression exudes an air of authority and maturity beyond her years. Her dark, curly hair is neatly styled and adorned with a crown, adding to the authenticity of her royal character. The rich, velvet fabric of the prince's costume, complete with a cross adorned chest piece, shines in the soft lighting of the studio. Cross-dressing was a common practice in Victorian theatre, allowing actresses to play male roles convincingly and expand their repertoire. Tulloch's portrayal of Prince Arthur is a testament to her skill and dedication to her craft, as she seamlessly blends into the character and captivates the viewer with her authenticity and presence. The photograph, taken during the late Victorian era, captures the essence of the theatrical world during this period. The stage was a place where gender roles could be blurred, and actors and actresses could bring stories to life through their performances. Tulloch's transformation into Prince Arthur is a reminder of the power of theatre to transport us to different worlds and challenge our perceptions. This photograph is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the remarkable talent of Olive Tulloch. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of the stage and the transformative power of an actor's performance.
