Dame Ellen Terry was the foremost Shakespearean actress of the Victorian and Edwardian stage, and this HMV pressing captures her reciting Portia's 'Quality of Mercy' speech from The Merchant of Venice. HMV 2-3535 is a single-sided pressing from the early acoustic period, around 1911. Terry's recordings are historically significant documents of Victorian acting style and are keenly sought by theatre and literary collectors. This is one of the most interesting spoken-word items a British collection of this era can hold.AI summary
