EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the magic and merriment of The Babes in the Wood and the Wicked Robbers pantomime performance at the Crystal Palace Theatre in London during the festive season of 1904. The image, taken during the fourth grand pantomime produced by H.E. Brammall, showcases the excitement and joy experienced by the audience, including the sender and his uncle. The scene on stage is set in a wintery forest, with a tall Christmas tree adorned with twinkling lights and ornaments standing proudly in the background. The Babes in the Wood, two young children dressed in warm clothing, huddle together, looking frightened as they are surrounded by the wicked robbers. The robbers, dressed in menacing uniforms and brandishing weapons such as swords and guns, are engaged in a fierce fight, adding to the thrilling atmosphere of the production. The Babes in the Wood is a classic English pantomime tale that tells the story of two abandoned children who are saved from harm by a good fairy. This timeless story, filled with music, dance, comedy, and adventure, has been entertaining audiences during the Christmas season for centuries. The photograph captures the essence of the pantomime experience, with its blend of excitement, suspense, and joy, making it a cherished memory for the sender and his uncle. The Edwardian era, in which this photograph was taken, was known for its grand productions and elaborate theatrical performances. The Babes in the Wood and the Wicked Robbers pantomime at the Crystal Palace Theatre was no exception, offering a visual feast for the eyes and an unforgettable experience for all who attended.
