About the work
Actor- manager Henry Irving (1838-1905) had one of his greatest successes with Faust, a version of Goethe's play by W.G.Wills. The spectacular production opened at the Lyceum Theatre on 19 December 1885 with Irving as Mephistopheles, and proved enormously popular with the public.
Bernard Partridge (1861-1945) was a painter and illustrator who became the principal cartoonist of Punch magazine. He acted at the Lyceum in his youth, using the name Bernard Gould, and made many drawings of Irving, some which appeared in the theatre's souvenir programmes. His work has provided both a record of costumes and scenery and of the dramatic effect of Irving's performances
