Striking blue-toned photographic portrait of Sir Henry Irving (1838–1905), the pre-eminent Victorian stage actor and first actor to be knighted (1895), shown in profile facing right, costumed in a period role — white powdered wig, ruffled white cravat, dark coat with ornate buttons — suggesting a 18th-century character such as Charles I or a similar historical role from his Lyceum Theatre repertoire. The portrait is atmospheric and dramatically lit. Published by The Rotograph Co., N.Y. City, "Rotograph" Series No. A93.
