EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Ada Rehan, a remarkable Irish-born actress who graced the stages of London's theater scene in the late 19th century. Taken around 1890, this print showcases Rehan in her most celebrated role as Rosalind in William Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It". Dressed in breeches, Rehan confidently embodies the character of Rosalind, a cross-dressing heroine who challenges societal norms with wit and charm. Her expressive eyes and poised stance reveal her mastery of both literature and performance. The Cabinet Portrait Gallery presents this woodburytype photograph as a testament to Rehan's talent and contribution to English theater. The rich details captured by this technique bring out every nuance of her expression, allowing us to appreciate the depth she brought to each role. Revered for her versatility on stage, Ada Rehan became an icon in the world of theater during her lifetime. This image serves as a reminder of her legacy - one that continues to inspire actors and actresses today
