EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, titled "Cartoon, Drury Lane Pantomime," transports us back to the late Victorian era of London's theatrical scene. The image, produced in 1885, showcases an entrancing moment from a Drury Lane Pantomime production, featuring the prominent actors Herbert Campbell and Harry Nicholls in their elaborate costumes. The enchanting scene is depicted during an entracte, a brief intermission between acts, where the audience is treated to a whimsical and humorous cartoon. The cartoon, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, adds an element of delight and surprise to the theatrical experience. Herbert Campbell, a renowned actor of the time, is shown in the center, wearing a jester's costume complete with a conical hat and bells. His expression is one of mischief and amusement, as if he is relishing the moment before the next act begins. To his left, Harry Nicholls, another esteemed performer, dons a fantastical costume reminiscent of a mythical creature. His eyes are wide with excitement and anticipation, reflecting the audience's eagerness for the continuation of the show. The Drury Lane Theatre, a historic venue in London, was renowned for its elaborate pantomime productions during the 1880s. These shows were a unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle, and were an integral part of the theatrical landscape during the late Victorian era. This cartoon print offers a glimpse into the magical world of pantomime and the enchanting performances that captivated audiences over a century ago.
