Pickings from the Pantomimes,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating feature from the January 1882 issue of Judy magazine, showcases an enchanting collection of images from the popular Victorian-era theatrical production known as pantomimes. The vibrant and whimsical photographs, now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offer a glimpse into the magical world of these live performances that captivated audiences during the late 1800s. The first image presents a jovial clown, his painted face a riot of colors and expressions, as he playfully interacts with a graceful ballerina. The clown, a staple character in pantomimes, adds an element of humor and surprise to the otherwise elegant and refined world of ballet. The dancer, with her flowing skirt and poised pose, embodies the grace and beauty of the art form. Another image features the iconic Harlequin and Columbine, two of the most beloved characters from the Commedia dell'Arte tradition, which heavily influenced pantomimes. Harlequin, dressed in his signature checkered costume and mask, and Columbine, with her flowing red hair and demure expression, exude an irresistible charm. The pair's playful banter and physical comedy brought laughter and delight to the audiences. The Pantalone character, a wise and often grumpy old man, is depicted in another photograph, his stern expression softened by the twinkle in his eye. His presence added depth and complexity to the pantomime's narrative, making it a truly engaging and entertaining experience for all. These captivating images from "Pickings from the Pantomimes" offer a fascinating look into the rich history of this unique and beloved theatrical tradition. The combination of humor, drama, music, dance, and colorful characters made pantomimes a must-see event for Victorians, and these photographs serve as a testament to their enduring appeal.
