EDITORS COMMENTS
A Spectacle of Magic and Wonder: The Treasure Ship in Fairy Seas at the London Hippodrome's 1906 Christmas Production In the heart of London's West End, the Hippodrome Theatre dazzled audiences with its annual Christmas production, none more so than the enchanting underwater scene, The Treasure Ship in Fairy Seas. This illustrated news report from the Illustrated London News captures the excitement and wonder of this unique theatrical event. The Hippodrome's famous water tank became the stage for an extraordinary underwater adventure, where treasure seekers in diving suits braved the depths of the Fairy Seas in search of hidden riches. Amidst the crystal-clear waters, the divers encountered a fearsome octopus, its tentacles lashing out in a terrifying display of power. But fear not, for the divers were not alone in this fantastical realm. The benevolent fairies, played by celebrated swimmer Annette Kellerman and the Finney sisters, swooped in to save the day. With grace and agility, they outmaneuvered the octopus, ensuring the safety of the hapless treasure hunters. The audience was left spellbound by the mesmerizing performance, a testament to the Hippodrome's commitment to delivering unforgettable theatrical experiences. This image, captured by renowned illustrator Max Cowper, offers a glimpse into the magic and wonder that unfolded nightly at the London Hippodrome during the festive season of 1906.
