EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Frank William Green (1842-1884), a prolific and beloved pantomime author of the Victorian era. Taken in April 1884, just months before his untimely death at the age of 41, this image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who brought joy and wonderment to countless audiences through his imaginative and witty scripts. Green's smart attire, complete with a tailored coat, crisp shirt, and stylish moustache, exudes an air of sophistication and confidence. The top hat perched atop his head adds a touch of elegance and grandeur, further emphasizing his status as a man of the theatre. As a pantomime author, Green was a master of the art form, crafting stories filled with music, dance, comedy, and spectacle that delighted audiences of all ages. His works, which included popular titles like "Bryan the Third" and "Aladdin," were known for their clever dialogue, memorable characters, and inventive plots. The 1880s were a golden age for pantomime in England, and Green was a key figure in the genre's development. His contributions helped to shape the form into the beloved tradition that continues to captivate audiences today. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the man behind the stories, a man whose creativity and passion for the theatre left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare and evocative image of Frank William Green, a true master of the pantomime arts. This print is an essential addition to any collection dedicated to the history of theatre or the Victorian era, and a fitting tribute to a man who brought magic and wonder to the lives of so many.
