Cottage or Palace?
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a poignant scene from Frank Lindo's melodrama "Home Sweet Home", captured in this vintage photograph produced by Harry Barfords Company. The image, which first graced the stage of the Canterbury Music Hall on January 22, 1910, showcases Stephen Armitage (Albert Ward) and his young daughter, seated alone in a quaint cottage by the sea. The worn expression on Stephen's face and the forlorn look in his daughter's eyes speak volumes about their current predicament. Their solitude is a result of Stephen's wife's departure, leaving them to face the world on their own. The setting - a simple cottage by the water's edge, with the father and daughter dressed in waders, suggests a humble existence. The window frame in the background hints at a glimpse of hope, perhaps a sign that better days are ahead. This evocative scene, which later toured to the Holborn Empire on July 18, 1910, is a testament to the emotional depth and storytelling prowess of Frank Lindo's work. The photograph, with its intriguing narrative and captivating visuals, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the human condition and the complexities of relationships.
