The Pantomimes, 1845 - A Snapshot of Christmas Extravaganza in Victorian London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Victorian pantomimes in 1845. Created by Alfred Crowquill, a renowned graphic designer of the time, this image captures the essence of the festive season at some of London's most famous theaters. At Drury Lane Theatre, audiences were treated to "The Adventures of Mr. Lemuel Gulliver" a whimsical adaptation from Jonathan Swift's popular chronicle. Meanwhile, Haymarket Theatre presented "The Bee and the Orange Flower" an extravagant Christmas extravaganza carefully selected by Mr. Planche. Over at Lyceum Theatre, Messrs. A. Smith and Kenney took inspiration from "Arabian Nights Entertainments" to create a new burlesque titled "The Story of Prince Firouz". The tale revolved around Prince Firouz and his flying steed in mesmerizing Persian settings. Not to be outdone, Adelphi Theatre offered their own unique spectacle with "Harlequin Poonahwinkeewongflibberdeeflobberdeebuskebong, the King of Cannibal Islands". This title alone promises a riotous adventure filled with laughter and surprises. As we gaze upon this historic print from Illustrated London News Vol VII. , we are transported into an era where theater was not just entertainment but also an integral part of British culture during Christmastime. It reminds us that even in times long past, people sought joy and merriment through these magical performances that continue to captivate audiences today.
