Featuring the inimitable Lady Betty Claridge, this image showcases a thrilling moment from the popular pantomime production, which first graced the stage of the Prince of Wales Theatre on December 17, 1904.

With a determined look in her eyes and a steely resolve, she climbs a ladder, ready to embark on a new adventure. The theatrical production of Lady Madcap, with music by Paul Rubens, was a staple of the early 20th century popular entertainment scene.

This postcard, featuring the iconic image of Lady Betty Claridge's escape, is a testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime and the enchantment it brought to theatres across the land.
