This photographic postcard depicts Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree as Cardinal Wolsey, seated left, Arthur Bourchier as King Henry VIII, seated in the middle, and Violet Vanbrugh as Queen Katherine to his right. The scene is from Tree's 1910 production of Shakespeare's Henry VIII, performed at His Majesty's Theatre. It was very successful and ran for 254 consecutive performances.
