EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the enchanting world of Victorian theatre. The scene depicted is from the pantomime "The Dragon of Wantley" performed at Drury-Lane Theatre, one of London's most prestigious venues. Created by David Henry Friston, a renowned artist of his time, this print captures the magic and grandeur that surrounded theatrical productions in the 19th century. In this particular scene, we are presented with an exterior view of Moore Hall, a key setting within the pantomime. The detailed architecture and intricate design elements showcase Friston's attention to detail and skill as an engraver. The looming presence of Moore Hall adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the image, leaving viewers eager to discover what lies beyond its doors. The costumes worn by the characters further enhance the visual spectacle portrayed in this artwork. From extravagant gowns adorned with feathers and jewels to elaborate masks that conceal identities, each costume reflects both opulence and whimsy – hallmarks of traditional pantomimes. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded not only of the artistry involved in creating such performances but also their ability to transport audiences into fantastical worlds filled with adventure and wonder. It serves as a testament to how theatre has always been a cherished form of entertainment throughout history – captivating hearts then as it does now.
