EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the beloved English artist Cecil Aldin (1870-1935) surrounded by two charming characters from his renowned series, "The Happy Family." The image was taken at the Prince of Wales Theatre in 1917, where an adaptation of Aldin's illustrations was brought to life on stage. Aldin, a master of sporting art and illustration, is known for his depictions of country life and the hunting world. His drawings of horses, dogs, and the human characters who inhabited this world were full of warmth, humor, and affection. In this photograph, Aldin is seen dressed in a tweed jacket and cap, holding a walking stick, embodying the essence of the English countryside. The two little characters, dressed in period costumes, are based on Aldin's illustrations. Their cheerful expressions and playful poses add to the overall charm of the scene. The presence of a dog and a horse in the background further underscores the connection between man and animal in Aldin's work. The staging of "The Happy Family" at the Prince of Wales Theatre was a testament to the enduring popularity of Aldin's illustrations. The show provided a visual feast for audiences, bringing to life the characters and scenes that had captured the imagination of the public. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of Cecil Aldin and the production that celebrated his work.
