[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 211959, member: 481"]I'd appreciate your opinions... I recently acquired a bunch of cabinet cards, which included some theatre related ones. Some are named, but the two below are not (nothing on reverse). So, I took a punt on a wild google search that I don't remember, but it involved a combination of Newport (Wales), Lyceum (victorian theatre in Newport) and Musketeers (based on the costume in the second photo) and somehow came across H A Sainsbury:[ATTACH=full]62070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]62071[/ATTACH] Photo of H A Saintsbury from The Sketch, 11 July 1900: [ATTACH=full]62072[/ATTACH] Obviously the hair's different but I found a few other images where Saintsbury's hair is bordering on curly. I also found a newspaper review of Saintsbury acting in "The Three Musketeers" at Newport Lyceum in 1899. But maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, since Saintsbury is quite a famous Victorian actor (he apparently mentored Charlie Chaplin) - [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Arthur_Saintsbury']more about him here[/URL]. Any thoughts? Thanks![/QUOTE]
