EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the glamour of early 20th century theater. Lillian Russell, a renowned American actress and singer, is seen in exquisite costume on the set of a production at Proctor's 23rd Street Theatre in New York City in 1904. Dressed in an opulent Victorian gown adorned with feathers and delicate lace, Russell exudes elegance and grace. Her eyes sparkle with anticipation as she prepares to take the stage, captivating audiences with her mesmerizing voice and magnetic presence. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the carefully arranged pot plant in the background to the fur muff delicately held by Russell's gloved hand. The silver gelatin print captures every nuance of light and shadow, adding depth to this timeless image. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the sounds of applause echoing through the grand theater hall. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when live performances were cherished events that brought communities together. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this stunning piece offers us a glimpse into both Lillian Russell's extraordinary talent and America's rich theatrical history. It stands as a testament to her enduring legacy as one of Broadway's brightest stars.
