EDITORS COMMENTS
This theatrical portrait captures the captivating moment of Rip Van Winkle's (Cyril Maude) awakening from his legendary 20-year slumber in the Kaatskills, as depicted in Washington Irving's iconic short story. Set against a rustic backdrop, Maude dons an authentic costume, complete with a long, flowing beard and a cooking pot in hand. The image, taken in 1911, showcases the actor-manager's exceptional ability to embody the character's essence, transporting us to the enchanting world of 19th-century America. Cyril Maude (1862-1951) was a renowned English actor and manager who graced the stages of London and New York with his performances. In the early 1910s, he embarked on a successful tour of the United States, bringing classic literary characters to life for contemporary audiences. Rip Van Winkle, with its enduring themes of time, change, and the passage of life, proved to be a popular choice for Maude's repertoire. This evocative portrait, captured in the Edwardian era, offers a glimpse into the rich theatrical landscape of the early 20th century. The image, reminiscent of the 1800s, invites us to ponder the timeless tale of Rip Van Winkle and the enchanting allure of storytelling that continues to captivate audiences today.
