EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures George Alexander (1858-1918), a renowned English actor and manager of the prestigious St. James Theatre, in a moment of quiet reflection. Taken in 1894, the image finds George seated in a plush armchair, his gaze fixed on the mirror before him. The actor's attire, with its elegant waistcoat and crisp collar, speaks to the refined sophistication of the era. George Alexander's impressive career spanned over four decades, during which he graced the stages of London's most esteemed theatres. He was known for his versatility and ability to captivate audiences with his powerful performances in both comedic and dramatic roles. In addition to his acting prowess, Alexander made a significant mark as a theatre manager, overseeing the successful operation of St. James Theatre from 1885 until his retirement in 1901. The mirror in this photograph serves as a reminder of the vanity and self-awareness inherent in the world of entertainment. George Alexander, with his keen sense of self-presentation and dedication to his craft, embodies the essence of a consummate performer. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the private moments of a public figure, inviting us to ponder the complexities of identity and the transformative power of the stage.
