William Charles Macready English Stage Actor in London CDV
This CDV has been trimmed and the backing appears to have been stuck to something at some point. There is another known photo of him out there of him standing between the chair and the desk in this photo. Although the CDV is in poor condition, with there being none others out there of this scene, the price listed is accordingly.
When Macready retired, Alfred Tennyson dedicated the following verse to him:
| “Farewell, Macready, since to-night we part: Full-handed thunders often have confessed Thy power, well used to move the public breast. We thank thee with one voice, and from the heart. Farewell, Macready, since this night we part. Go take thine honours home; rank with the best; Garrick, and statelier Kemble, and the rest, Who made a nation purer through their art. Thine is it that the drama did not die. Nor flicker down to brainless pantomime. And those gilt gauds men-children swarm to see. Farewell, Macready; moral, grave, sublime, Our Shakespeare’s bland and universal eye Dwells pleased, through twice a hundred years on thee.” |
