Mrs. Theodore Martin. (Helen Faucit.)
Painted by R. Lehmann. Engraved by F. Joubert
London: Published Jan. 1st 1875 by Goupil & Co. (Successors to Holloway & Son) 25 Bedford Street, Strand _ Copyright Registered.
Engraving on india, platemark 530 x 400mm (21 x 15¾"), with large margins.
Helen Faucit (1814-98), actress. Widely admired (the writer Thomas de Quincey compared her to Helen of Troy), Carol J. Carlisle concludes in her DNB entry that Faucit's acting, 'though not ‘great' in the Siddons tradition (exciting by apparently superhuman power and grandeur), has probably been unexcelled in its artistic, interpretive, and emotional effectiveness'. Engraving after the painting by Rudolf Lehmann, German artist who portrayed many British luminaries in literature and the arts, now in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Gallery, Stratford-on-Avon.
Not in Harvard. Provenance: Edge Hall Library, Cheshire
