EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on the 20th of January, 1928, we are transported back in time to a bustling London street outside the Elephant and Castle Theatre. The image captures a vibrant crowd of young sailors eagerly flocking towards the theatre entrance, their anticipation palpable as they prepare to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of pantomime. The sailors' uniforms stand out against the backdrop of England's iconic architecture, creating a striking visual contrast that adds depth to the composition. Their youthful energy is infectious, as they chat animatedly amongst themselves while waiting for their turn to enter. Amidst this sea of eager faces, a prominent sign advertising "Dick Whittington" serves as a reminder of the magical tale awaiting them inside. Towering above it all is an imposing statue that seems almost alive amidst its stone surroundings. H. F. Davis skillfully captures not only the physical presence but also the collective excitement and joy emanating from this diverse group of theatergoers. Through his lens, he transports us back in time to witness firsthand how entertainment brought people together even during challenging times. This evocative print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate both Davis' artistic vision and our shared cultural heritage by preserving this moment frozen in time forevermore.
