EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this 1877 Calendar from The Theatre Royal and Queens Theatre in the heart of London. This vintage print showcases the stunning facades of these two iconic Victorian theatres, adorned with intricate architectural details and festive holiday decorations. On the reverse side, the calendar reveals an enticing lineup of pantomime productions that graced the stages of these esteemed venues during the 1877 season. The Theatre Royal presented two enchanting tales: "The House That Jack Built" and "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe." In "The House That Jack Built," audiences were transported on a whimsical journey as Jack built his house using various items, each with a surprising consequence. Meanwhile, "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" brought the classic nursery rhyme to life with an array of mischievous children and delightful twists. Across town at the Queens Theatre, patrons were treated to the thrilling adventure of "Robinson Crusoe, or Harlequin Friday and the King of the Cannibal Islands." This pantomime adaptation of Daniel Defoe's classic novel followed the daring exploits of Robinson Crusoe as he navigated the treacherous waters of the Caribbean and encountered the mysterious King of the Cannibal Islands. As you gaze upon this enchanting calendar, imagine the excitement of London theatre-goers as they eagerly anticipated these fantastical productions over a century ago. The Michael Diamond Collection, in partnership with Mary Evans Picture Library, invites you to take a step back in time and experience the magic of Victorian theatre.
