Aladdin Arabian Gems Gift Jewels Kneel Kneeling Nights Pantomime Presents Scrap Scraps

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting late 19th century photograph that captures the magic and wonder of the popular pantomime production of "Aladdin's Lamp" from the Arabian Nights story. In this scene, a young boy, likely playing the role of Aladdin, presents a magnificent plate heaped with glistening gems to an imperious Eastern emperor. The emperor, dressed in ornate, Middle Eastern attire, sits regally on his throne, his expression a mixture of curiosity and delight as he receives the boy's gift. The photograph, titled "Victorian Scrap," is a testament to the rich and intriguing world of Victorian-era pantomime theatre. The production of "Aladdin's Lamp" was a staple of the pantomime season, and this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the elaborate costumes, sets, and performances that brought the magical tales of the Arabian Nights to life on the stage. The boys in the photograph, dressed in the traditional attire of Aladdin and his companions, add to the authenticity of the scene. Their eager expressions and the emperor's regal demeanor convey the excitement and anticipation that filled the theatre as the audience watched the story unfold. The intricate details of the set, from the ornate throne to the intricately patterned floor, transport us back to a time when the imagination and wonder of storytelling came to life through the art of pantomime. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the magical world of Victorian-era theatre and the timeless tales of the Arabian Nights.
