Sir Henry Irving Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
Sir Henry Irving NPG 1560
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by Jules Bastien-Lepage
This portrait was conceived at a supper party at the Lyceum on 3 July 1880, when Irving and Ellen Terry entertained Bastien Lepage and Sarah Bernhardt. It was abandoned after only one or two sittings, at Irving's rooms in Grafton Street, presumably because Irving intensely disliked Bastien's informal depiction of him.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
