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.
This image shows the actor Henry Irving (1838-1905) as Dr. Tregenna in The Medicine Man, a play written by Henry Duff Traill in collaboration with Robert Hichens and produced by Sir Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre in May 1898. The play did not prove successful, it opened on 4th May, but only ran for 22 performances.
