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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Scene from "David Garrick," at the Haymarket Theatre: Garrick...[and] Ada Ingot..., 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

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. Fete given by the Prince Imperial to poor children of Paris in the Tuileries Gardens, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Scene from Mr. Woodin's Entertainment, "Elopement Extraordinary," at the Polygraphic Hall, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
