EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting court scene from the classic pantomime production of "Puss in Boots," which was staged at the esteemed Drury Lane Theatre in London during the 1887-8 season. The image showcases the grandeur and opulence of the King's Court, with the monarch, regally dressed in his royal robes, seated upon his throne. Surrounding him are his loyal courtiers, all adorned in elaborate costumes, attentively listening to Puss in Boots as he presents a cunning plan before them. Puss, the cunning and resourceful feline, is depicted in the foreground, wearing his signature boots and holding a sack filled with gold coins. His mischievous grin and confident demeanor convey the success of his latest scheme. The intricate details of the set design, from the ornate gold and red decorations to the intricately carved wooden columns, further emphasize the magical and fantastical world of pantomime. Pantomime, a unique and cherished British theatrical tradition, combines music, dance, comedy, and spectacle to create an unforgettable theatrical experience for audiences of all ages. "Puss in Boots" is a beloved tale of adventure, deception, and transformation, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the magical world of pantomime as it was brought to life on the stage over a century ago.
