EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be transported to the magical world of Alfred Sutro's 'The Walls of Jericho'! This promotional postcard, dating back to 1906, invites us to witness the enchanting spectacle that once graced the stages of London and Bath theatres. The image showcases the moment of triumph as an ethereal angel, with wings spread wide, blows his trumpet, causing the ancient walls of Jericho to crumble before our very eyes. The London skyline, with its grandiose buildings and smokestacks, crumbles in the background, adding a sense of awe and wonder to the scene. This theatrical masterpiece, produced at the Garrick Theatre on the 31st of October 1904, was a popular pantomime (panto) that toured to the Theatre Royal in Bath on the 8th of October 1906. The use of angels blowing trumpets was a common motif in Edwardian pantomimes, adding to the excitement and enchantment of the production. Experience the magic of 'The Walls of Jericho' as it comes alive on stage, with the angel's trumpeting heralding the downfall of the city's walls. This postcard is a glimpse into the past, offering a tantalizing taste of the popular entertainment that captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences over a century ago.
