EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "HMS Pinafore: Corcoran Presents Little Buttercup to Sir Joseph Porter," is a stunning depiction of a scene from the beloved operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore" by Gilbert and Sullivan. The image, dated 1908, showcases the moment when the character Corcoran, a sailor in the Royal Navy, presents the blushing Little Buttercup to Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Sir Joseph, portrayed as a rotund, jovial man, reaches out to accept the fair maiden with a generous sixpence in hand. Little Buttercup, with a demure expression and rosy cheeks, looks both surprised and pleased at the unexpected gesture. Corcoran, standing proudly behind her, watches the exchange with a satisfied smile. The operetta, which premiered in 1878, was a groundbreaking success and remains a popular favorite to this day. Its witty lyrics, memorable music, and satirical take on Victorian society continue to delight audiences around the world. This photograph print, with its vivid details and charming depiction of the characters, offers a glimpse into the magic of this timeless work. The photograph's provenance is from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of high-quality historical images. This print, with its rich history and captivating scene, is a must-have for any Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiast or anyone with an appreciation for the art of operetta.
