EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs. Jordan in the Character of Hypolita, a role she portrayed with grace and elegance. Created by artist John Jones in 1910, this image captures the essence of Dorothea Jordan, an extraordinary Anglo-Irish actress known for her talent and beauty. Dorothea Jordan's life was as fascinating as her performances on stage. She was not only an acclaimed actress but also the mistress and companion of the future King William IV for two decades while he held the title of Duke of Clarence. Their unconventional relationship resulted in ten children, all bearing the surname FitzClarence. In this portrait, Mrs. Jordan is depicted wearing a stunning white costume adorned with intricate details that transport us to another era. Her hat adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble, while a plume delicately rests upon it, symbolizing her status as an esteemed actress. The composition exudes both strength and vulnerability as Mrs. Jordan embodies Hypolita from Greek mythology—a character associated with power and mythological tales. The soft color palette enhances her ethereal presence against a country backdrop. Published in The Connoisseur Vol XXVI by Otto Limited in London during 1910, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Dorothea Jordan's remarkable career and influential position within society at that time.
