EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Theatrical Christmas, 1866" takes us back to the enchanting world of Victorian entertainment. Created by artist Charles Henry Bennett, this illustration showcases Mr Punch in a mesmerizing role as a snake charmer. The image is one of the illustrated capital letters featured in Punch, or the London Charivari magazine on January 6th, 1866. In this scene, we see Mr Punch donning a fez hat and charmingly playing with a serpent. His mischievous expression adds an element of humor to the otherwise religious connotation associated with snakes. The intricate details captured through engraving bring out the essence of this nineteenth-century profession. Bennett's artistic talent shines through his portrayal of Mr Punch's theatrical costume and expressive body language. The forked tongue of the snake further emphasizes its reptilian nature while adding visual interest to the composition. As we gaze upon this heritage image partnership between Charles Henry Bennett and Heritage Images, we are transported to an era where theater played a significant role in celebrations like Christmas. This monochrome print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that captures the spirit of entertainment during that time period
