EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the popular comic opera, "The Duchess of Dantzic," written by Henry Hamilton with music by Ivan Caryll. Based on the French play, "Madame Sans Gene," the romantic production toured extensively in the early 1900s, including a performance at Sale Public Hall. In this image, the Duchess, elegantly dressed and with a demure curtsey, pays her respects to the formidable figure of Napoleon Bonaparte. With a hint of a grumpy expression, the Emperor returns her curtsey, his arms folded across his chest. The Duchess of Dantzic was a comical and entertaining production that showcased the theatrical talents of its cast and brought joy to audiences during the Edwardian era. This photograph, with its timeless composition and intriguing narrative, offers a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the past.
