EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Holiday Entertainments" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of performing arts. The image showcases a lively scene from a play performed at the Grand Theatre or Lyceum Theatre, where Miss Rosie Leyton and Miss Jessie Preston are seen donning exquisite costumes. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as Mr. Harry Randall, portraying a daring robber, engages in a thrilling encounter with Miss G. Preston's character, who faces imminent danger and possible death. Meanwhile, Mr. Charles Lauri and Mr. Francis Hawley appear on stage as Tatters - their comedic presence adding an element of humor to the performance. In this enchanting setting, we also spot Miss Kitty Loftus embodying Santa Claus while surrounded by pine woods on Friday Island – perhaps symbolizing her role as the bringer of joy during festive times. The print captures not only the actors' expressions but also intricate details such as Mrs Crusoe played by Mrs J. M Jones alongside Eric, Polly, Rosamond, and Robinson Crusoe himself – characters that transport us into another realm altogether. With its meticulous engravings and masterful composition by Bridgeman Images, this artwork invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind theatrical productions in the past and our own fascination with storytelling through time.
