#Onthisday in 1862 Vanity Fair illustrated Edwin Forrest, a famous Shakespearean actor of the mid 19th century and the namesake of Philadelphia’s Forrest Theater. The caption reads: “The great medium between the spirit of Shakespeare and the stage.” We may not know how true those words are, but his legacy definitely lives on in Philadelphia.
Vanity Fair. Vol. 6, No. 149. September 20, 1862. New York : Frank J. Thompson, , 1859-1863.
