EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, part of The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a Harry Day production of 'Made in England' at the Kings Theatre in Southsea, England, during the 1910s. The intriguing theatrical production is depicted through an image of a woman, or possibly women, sitting in a tub that appears to be floating on water, surrounded by an assortment of young men. The woman, dressed in a mermaid-like costume, gazes up at the audience with a serene expression, while the men, dressed in naval uniforms, seem to be in awe of her beauty. The setting of the stage is adorned with a submarine and a German U-boat, suggesting a patriotic theme, reflecting the tensions of the time between Britain and Germany during the early 20th century. The title 'Made in England' and the image of a mermaid could symbolize the pride and strength of the British people, emphasizing the importance of national identity and unity. The production, produced by Harry Day, was likely a spectacle of grand proportions, showcasing elaborate costumes, special effects, and a captivating narrative. The image on this postcard offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theatre and entertainment, providing a fascinating look into the past and the cultural significance of the time.
