A River Fantasy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black-and-white scene designed by the renowned British artist Gladys Peto for the Palace Girls' performance at the Victoria Palace Theatre in 1918. This striking image transports us back in time to the 1910s, an era of grand theatrical productions and artistic innovation. The photograph showcases Peto's mastery of the monochrome palette, as the river's gentle current is illuminated by the soft glow of the moonlight, while the girls' costumes shimmer in contrasting shades of black and white. The intricate set design, with its ornate arches and lush foliage, adds an ethereal quality to the scene, creating a sense of enchantment and wonder. The Palace Girls, a popular dance troupe of the time, were known for their elaborate productions and innovative choreography. In this particular performance, they seemed to have been transported to a magical world, where the river became their stage and the moon their only spotlight. The girls' graceful movements, captured in this photograph, are a testament to their skill and artistry. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a glimpse into the rich history of British theatre and the groundbreaking designs of Gladys Peto. The image, with its timeless charm, continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day.
