EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the enchanting world of Victorian pantomime, specifically to the production of "Queen of Frogs" at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London during the year 1851. The photograph showcases the mesmerizing Queen of Frogs, an ethereal and otherworldly character, as she gracefully poses amongst her froggy subjects. Pantomime was a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian era, known for its blend of music, dance, comedy, and drama, often with a moral or educational message. The Queen of Frogs was a beloved character in many pantomimes, representing transformation, renewal, and the power of nature. The Lyceum Theatre, under the direction of Charles Kean, was renowned for its elaborate productions and high production values. This photograph offers a glimpse into the magical and imaginative world created on its stage over 160 years ago. The Queen of Frogs, with her regal bearing and enchanting expression, captivates the audience's attention, drawing them into her watery realm. The intricate costumes, featuring shimmering greens and golds, and the detailed set design, with its lily pads and aquatic foliage, further enhance the sense of wonder and enchantment. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime and the power of the theatre to transport us to far-off lands and magical realms, even as we gaze upon it from the comfort of the present day.
