EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from J.M. Barrie's classic play, "Peter Pan," as it was performed at the Duke of York's Theatre in London during January 1905. In this moment, the mischievous and imaginative Peter Pan (played by actor, Arthur Duke) saves his band of Lost Boys from the clutches of the menacing pirates. But the surprise doesn't end there. In a playful and clever parody of Sir John Singer Sargent's famous painting of Napoleon Bonaparte on the HMS Bellerophon, Peter impersonates the French leader, much to the delight of the audience. Dressed in a grand military uniform and brandishing a sword, Peter's impersonation adds an unexpected layer of excitement and humor to the pirate battle scene. The Duke of York's Theatre was a popular venue for entertainment during this era, and Barrie's "Peter Pan" was a beloved production that continued to captivate audiences for generations to come.
