Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the English actor-manager, is the subject of this c1917 portrait, a photoprint copyrighted by the Chicago studio of Moffett. Tree was among the most prominent figures of the London stage in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, best known for running Her Majesty's theater and for lavish productions of Shakespeare. The record notes that its data come from an unverified caption card, so the sitter's identity rests on that label, though it matches his name and dates. Studio portraits like this one circulated widely, and they show how theatrical celebrities were marketed to American audiences in the years around World War I.
