The intricate costumes and elaborate set designs were a hallmark of the era, and Brooke's cloak and feather boa are a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the time. With her striking appearance and captivating stage presence, Cynthia Brooke was the epitome of Victorian glamour and sophistication. This photograph, taken in 1895, is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of late 19th-century theatre.
