SCENE FROM "DAVID GARRICK," AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE: GARRICK...[AND] ADA INGOT..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene from "David Garrick," at the Haymarket Theatre: Garrick (Mr. Sothern) entreating Ada Ingot (Miss Moore) to return to her father, 1864. London stage production. 'Those of our readers who are curious to know how Mr. Sothern looks now that he has removed his moustache...will be interested in the Engraving [of] the new play of "David Garrick." Mr. Sothern, as all playgoers know, assumes the trying part of the great English actor...his impersonation is throughout easy and natural. It may seem a curious compliment to pay to one actor who represents another, to say that the performance is remarkably un-stagey - except, of course, when the exigencies of the scene require a display of theatrical art in its ordinary sense...in the scene where he simulates drunkenness he proves himself fully equal to the fresh call upon his powers..."David Garrick,"...has served Mr. Buckstone's purpose by drawing crowded houses...The Sketch we have engraved represents that passage, in the last scene of the play, where Garrick, who has been feigning bad manners that he may cure Aga Ingot of her romantic passion for himself, consoles her for the mortification she has suffered, and persuades her to go home to her father; while the father stands behind to listen'.

FETE GIVEN BY THE PRINCE IMPERIAL TO POOR CHILDREN OF PARIS IN THE TUILERIES GARDENS, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Fete given by the Prince Imperial to poor children of Paris in the Tuileries Gardens, 1864. 'The officials of the Emperor's household had caused provision to be made for the gratification of a large number of visitors, both old and young. A long line of tables, spread with white damask, with store of cakes and wine upon them, extended in front of the terrace...The waiters in attendance were servants in the Imperial livery, with the addition of a few soldiers...There were various amusements, such as an exhibition of tightrope performances, merry-go-rounds, puppet- shows, Punch and Judy (in the French version of Polichinelle)...This pleasant scene of popular festivity beneath the stately trees of the palace gardens is portrayed in our Engraving...The Emperor, the Empress, and Princess Clotilde were present, walking quietly through the crowd. The little Prince remained there for nearly two hours. The gardens were, of course, full of people, though a charge of 5f. was imposed for their admission by ticket, and none were allowed to enter without leading some children by the hand. The money raised by this means must have brought a considerable augmentation to the funds of the Children's Loan Society'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

SCENE FROM MR. WOODIN'S ENTERTAINMENT, "ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY," AT THE POLYGRAPHIC HALL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene from Mr. Woodin's Entertainment, "Elopement Extraordinary," at the Polygraphic Hall, 1864. A carriage on '...the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway...A strong-minded young lady, taking advantage of Leap-year, has eloped with a weak-minded young gentleman, and is pursued by her uncle, who...[hides] in a second-class carriage, while they occupy one of the first class...the old gentleman...[discovers that the young man] has come into a large fortune...Hearing the lovers quarrel in the next carriage, he joins them with the design of preventing a rupture, still keeping his face concealed...Mr. Woodin plays all three characters himself, the audience burst into wondering laughter when they see carriages entered by one person after another, and behold heads popping now out of this window, now out of that, while all these travellers are but one and the same man. But their astonishment reaches its height when the scene changes...with the uncle, the two lovers, and the head of a ticket-collector thrust in at the window, all visible at once. This combination is produced by an ingenious arrangement of stuffed "dummies," which Mr. Woodin animates at pleasure by introducing his own face where the face ought to be and working the several arms'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON: SCENE FROM "THE COMEDY OF ERRORS"...1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: scene from "The Comedy of Errors", as performed in the Festival Pavilion, 1864. Celebrating the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth. Play performed by the company of the Princess's Theatre. 'It is the scene in which Antipholus of Syracuse, being mistaken for his brother of Ephesus by the wife of the latter, is accosted, very much to his astonishment, with conjugal entreaties and reproaches, by Adriana, whom he never saw before in his life. She has been scolding him for his neglect, and she now insists upon taking his arm and leading him home to dinner; while Dromio, no less astonished than his master, cries out that they have got into fairyland, and are transformed, in mind and shape, by some fallacious arts of magic. This Dromio (of Syracuse) is Mr. Charles Webb, whom nobody can distinguish from his brother Henry, the Dromio of Ephesus; Mr. George Vining is the Antipholus of Syracuse, and the Adriana is Miss Caroline Carson. "The Comedy of Errors," as performed at the Princess's and at the Stratford festival, is not the entire work of Shakspeare, but an abridgment or condensation, forming but a single act'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION: SCENE FROM..."KING HENRY IV.", PART I, PLAYED AT DRURY LANE..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration: scene from Shakspeare's play of "King Henry IV.", Part I, as played at Drury Lane - Battle of Shrewsbury, in the last act, 1864. 'In our review of the performance at Drury Lane of this wonderful historical drama, we noticed not only the admirable manner in which the play is acted throughout, but the skill and effect with which, in the last act, the Battle of Shrewsbury was managed. The general melée was prepared for by stage arrangements which gave the greatest effect to it, both in regard to the suddenness of its appearance and the completeness of its accessories...[we] give the reader some notions of this remarkable scene by an Engraving...Such a representation cannot, it is true, give any great prominence to the principal actors; but it can display the confusion and the grandeur of the battle-field, which here scarcely shows as a stage-scene at all, but, in consequence of the excellent arrangements to which we have alluded, looks like the reality itself. Stage illusion has never been carried to a higher point, nor have the resources of our national stage ever been devoted to a worthier object. It is highly creditable to the management and to the public by whose patronage it has been supported'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT BATH: SIR CHARLES LYELL DELIVERING THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The British Association at Bath: Sir Charles Lyell delivering the presidential address in the theatre, 1864. 'The New Theatre Royal...was erected...upon the site of the former theatre, built by Mr. Dance, R. A., in 1805, and destroyed by fire...The present edifice was designed by Charles J. Phipps, F.S.A., architect; the auditory will seat commodiously 1750 persons; it has three tiers of boxes and galleries above the pit...The stage arrangements are elaborate and elegant, the house was crowded on the great evening meeting of the inauguration, many ladies being present. The more distinguished members of the association were seated on the stage, which was elegantly fitted up and lighted with gaseliers...[the President] Sir Charles Lyell read his Address with excellent emphasis, and evidenced what Sir William Armstrong described as Sir Charles's talent of "imparting the charm of lucid and elegant language to the communication of ideas." The address was not so much a synoptical view of the progress of all branches of science as an independent contribution to one of them - namely, a monograph on the Bath Waters: their history, the geological theories of their origin, and the geological phenomena to which such agencies are believed to contribute'.
