Ethel Webling

[1] From 1881 to 1894, she exhibited eleven times at the Royal Academy of Arts,[5] most notably with a miniature of John Ruskin in 1888[1] and a pastel of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree as Hamlet in 1892.

In 1884 she created ninety sketches of Henry Irving's production of Twelfth Night at the Lyceum Theatre in a copy of the play,[11] which was acquired by the Folger Shakespeare Library in 2003.

[12] In 1898, she created a hand-illustrated book documenting Herbert Beerbohm Tree's production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar at Her Majesty's Theatre.

In 2017, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust research determined that this collection item was a unique record of the production rather than an imagined staging.

[14] In 1917, she was called to testify in the trial of psychic Almira Brockway, whom Webling consulted on the whereabouts of her soldier nephew, who was missing in action.
