Performance Galleries

In 1900 Seymour Eaton edited a Shakespeare Rare Print Collection of which the U.C.B. Shakespeare Program owns the Connnoisseur Edition. These engravings were published for subscribers to The Eversley Shakespeare and Review of Reviews (Philadelphia: R.G. Kennedy & Co.). This collection reflected the then current subjects of interest to American enthusiasts and experts in the field of Shakespeare performance at the turn of the century: principally the historical identity of the actors themselves, not distictive interpretations of roles. Many of the pictures from the Collection that are omitted here are conventional sketches of historical buildings or scenes by German artists without specific relation to any performance. However, the remainder provide a retrospective over the contents of the previous Gallery 3 in terms of the American stage. Because of the uneven condition of the originals each image required individual processing to register legibly on this site.
