EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of early Toy Theatre, a popular form of entertainment in the 1840s. The image showcases an eclectic assembly of classic pantomime characters, each brimming with charm and whimsy. At the heart of the scene, Harlequin, the mischievous and agile trickster, is seen in his iconic motley attire, complete with a mask and a cocked hat. His companion, the Clown, with his red nose and oversized shoes, adds a touch of humor to the production. The Pantaloon, a pompous and authoritative figure, is dressed in a long coat and a tall hat, while his wife, Mrs. Dashaway, is depicted with a fan and an elegant gown. The intrigue of this scene is further enhanced by the presence of a dog musician, strumming a lute with his paw, and a dog cart, which adds a delightful touch of realism to the otherwise fantastical setting. The inclusion of Mr. Doublesight, a character known for his ability to see through deception, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the production. This vibrant and lively assembly of characters is a testament to the rich and diverse world of Toy Theatre in the 1840s. Each figure, meticulously crafted and brought to life through the art of puppetry, would have captivated and entertained audiences in the makeshift theatres of the time. The photograph print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early pantomime and the magic of Toy Theatre.
