EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a design for the colour screen used in the third and fourth acts of the theatrical production of Catherine The Great, created by renowned British journalist, theatre critic, and author Huntly Carter. Circa 1915, this design was a groundbreaking innovation for its time, as colour screens were not yet commonly used in theatre. Carter, a prolific writer for various magazines, including the prestigious Clarence King, brought his artistic vision to life through this design. The November volume of Clarence King Magazine featured this striking image, showcasing the intricate details of the colour screen. The design for Catherine The Great's colour screen is a testament to Carter's creative genius and his ability to blend art and theatre. The image depicts a regal Catherine the Great, dressed in rich, vibrant colours, surrounded by opulent furnishings and grand architecture. The use of colour adds depth and dimension to the production, transporting audiences into the world of the Empress. This design was a significant departure from the monochromatic productions of the time and marked a new era in theatrical design. Huntly Carter's innovative use of colour screens in Catherine The Great paved the way for future productions to incorporate more visual elements, enhancing the overall theatrical experience for audiences. This print is a valuable piece of theatre history, offering a glimpse into the artistic vision and innovation of Huntly Carter and the world of theatre during the early 20th century.
