EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Dick Whittington and His Mother' by the renowned British artist Will True, transports us back to the vibrant world of 1900s pantomime theatre. The scene unfolds on the cobbled streets, as Dick Whittington, played by a young, eager actor, is being shown the door by his mother, the pantomime dame, in a striking display of theatrical drama. Dressed in a red scarf, tights, and a jester-like hat, the mother figure, always played by a man in pantomime, points sternly towards the door, signaling the beginning of Dick's legendary journey. With a knapsack slung over his shoulder and a determined look in his eyes, Dick sets off on his adventure, accompanied by his faithful cat. This image, from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of popular entertainment in the 1900s, with its lively energy, colorful costumes, and the enduring appeal of Dick Whittington's timeless tale.
