![HENRY IRVING. From a Photograph ly] AGE 42. [Mr. S. A. Walker. Born 1838. R. IRVING wearing a mous¬ tache presents an unfamiliar aspect; but such was his appearance when, in 1867, he had just made his great success in “ Hunted Down,” at Manchester. The year after, Mr. Irving deprived himself of his moustache in order to play Dorincoiirt in “ The Belle’s Stratagem,” and appeared as in our second portrait—which, however, he assures us, is a shade too plump to be his accurate presentment. Ten years later. when Mr. Irving was preparing to amaze the world as Hamlet^ at the Lyceum, his features had assumed the well-known aspect which they wear in our third por¬ trait, and which is still more visible in the last of the series, which has been selected as one of Mr. Irving’s favourites among the stock of photographs which he has very kindly placed at our disposal.
