About the painting
Actor-manager Henry Irving (1838-1905) appeared in Louis XI in 1878 with the Lyceum Theatre Company which he later managed.
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 of 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
