EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the 1920s with this enchanting promotional postcard for the musical "Song of the Sea" by Arthur Wimperis and Lauri Wylie. Originally produced at the Schauspielhaus in Breslau, Germany on September 25th, 1926, and later premiering at His Majesty's Theatre in London on September 6th, 1928, this theatrical production was a popular sensation of the era. The image captures the essence of the musical's nautical theme, with a stunning depiction of the sea and its surrounding ships. At the center, the iconic wheel of a ship's helm stands tall against the backdrop of the vast, blue sea. The image is further enhanced by the addition of two lovers gazing out at the water, their silhouettes creating a romantic and dreamlike atmosphere. The musical, which was originally titled "Lady Hamilton" and featured music by Eduard Kunneke, tells the story of the legendary relationship between Admiral Horatio Nelson and Emma, Lady Hamilton. However, it's important to note that the historical accuracy of this tale has been questioned, as many details have been altered for the sake of entertainment. Despite its inaccuracies, "Song of the Sea" was a beloved pantomime of the 1920s, and this postcard serves as a captivating reminder of the magical world of the theatre during that era. With its intriguing storyline, stunning visuals, and catchy tunes, it's no wonder that this musical left a lasting impression on audiences.
