EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the classic pantomime tale of Dick Whittington, performed at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London during the festive season of 1911. In this image, Dick Whittington, played by an unseen actor, is shown riding triumphantly on the back of his famous feline companion as they vanquish Morocco's plague of rats. The grateful King of Morocco looks on, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers who cheer and clap in delight. The artist, E.P. Kinsella, masterfully captures the theatricality and excitement of the pantomime performance, with the cat and rats in dynamic motion, their forms bathed in the warm glow of the stage lights. The intricate details of the tableau, from the fleeing rats to the intricate costumes and set design, showcase the strength and popularity of the Lyceum Theatre's pantomime company in London during the 1910s. This print, titled "Dick Whittington," is a testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime as a cherished holiday tradition. With its grand fairy ballets and twenty-four scenes, this production of Dick Whittington promised to be an unforgettable theatrical experience for audiences of all ages. E.P. Kinsella's artwork continues to capture the imagination of viewers, transporting us back in time to the magical world of the Lyceum Theatre and the enchanting tale of Dick Whittington and his faithful cat.
