EDITORS COMMENTS
a theatrical masterpiece of the 1860s, came to life through the collaborative efforts of Anicet Bourgeois and M. Ferdinand Dugue. This pantomime, also known as a panto, was a popular form of entertainment during the 1860s that combined music, dance, comedy, and drama. The image on this postcard showcases the play's star, Andre Dumaine, in character as a hunter, surrounded by the hunted pirates of the savannah. The theatrical production of "Les Pirates de la Savane" premiered in Paris, France, and quickly gained a massive following due to its unique blend of adventure, comedy, and spectacle. The pantomime featured elaborate costumes, stunning sets, and a cast of talented performers who brought the pirates and hunters to life on stage. The audience was transported to a world of excitement and danger, where good triumphed over evil in a thrilling and unforgettable performance. This postcard, a promotional piece for the production, captures the essence of the theatrical experience. The image of Andre Dumaine, a renowned actor of the time, in character as a hunter, adds to the intrigue and excitement surrounding the production. The pirates, with their menacing expressions and disheveled appearance, contrast sharply with the determined and focused look on Dumaine's face, highlighting the tension and drama of the scene. Overall, "Les Pirates de la Savane" was a groundbreaking theatrical production of the 1860s that continues to captivate audiences today. This postcard serves as a reminder of the power of live entertainment and the enduring appeal of a well-crafted story brought to life on stage.
