EDITORS COMMENTS
This title page design marks the beginning of "The Story of The Mikado," an operetta written by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, first performed in London in 1885. The image, published in 1921 by Daniel O'Connor Ltd., showcases a vibrant and intricately illustrated scene that sets the stage for the comic and humorous tale that follows. The Mikado, a Japanese title meaning "emperor," is depicted in the center, dressed in traditional regal attire, complete with a golden crown and a fan. Surrounding him are various Japanese characters, each adorned in colorful clothing and accessories, reflecting the exotic and far-off land of Japan. The title of the operetta is written in bold red and orange letters, contrasting beautifully against the cream background. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of artistic expression and innovation. This title page design, with its intricate details and vivid colors, is a testament to the creative spirit of the era. Alice Woodward, an accomplished illustrator, is believed to have contributed to the design, adding to her impressive body of work. The Story of The Mikado is a classic operetta that continues to be beloved for its witty dialogue, memorable music, and colorful characters. This title page serves as a visual introduction to the whimsical and entertaining world that awaits the audience, inviting them to embark on a journey to Japan and experience the comic humor and timeless storytelling of Gilbert and Sullivan.
