Baby Bunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and surreal theatrical production that premiered at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London in September 1919. This photograph captures a moment from the production, which was created by the visionary team of Fred Thompson and Worton David, with additional contributions from Harry Nicholls and William Lestocq, and featuring music by Nat D Ayer. The image presents an impossible scene that defies the laws of nature, as a baby, swathed in red and green bunting, sits contentedly on the back of an elephant, which stands beneath a tree adorned with flowers that seem to defy gravity. The tree's leaves, a vibrant green, cascade downwards, creating a canopy that shields the baby and the elephant from the outside world. Surrounding the tree, a myriad of insects and crickets frolic, adding to the whimsical and fantastical atmosphere of the scene. The overall effect is one of surreal beauty, a testament to the power of the imagination and the art of theatre to transport audiences to new and uncharted realms. The production of "Baby Bunting" was a groundbreaking achievement for its time, reflecting the artistic experimentation and innovation that characterized the 1910s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the magical world of this theatrical production, inviting us to ponder the impossible and to revel in the joy and wonder of the human spirit.
