EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this promotional postcard from the late 1890s, featuring a scene from the popular play "His Excellency The Governor" by R. Marshall, first produced at the Court Theatre on June 8, 1898. The image depicts a tense moment in the Government House of an Indian Ocean colony, where the Governor, sternly seated on a wall of furniture, appears to be on high alert against a supposed rising. In the foreground, the visiting daughter of a cabinet minister is embraced passionately by her lover, oblivious to the political turmoil around them. Adding to the scene's enchanting atmosphere, the Governor's private secretary is shown in the background, serenading them with an imitation of a nightingale's song. This theatrical moment from the past is a beautiful reminder of the popular pantomime and entertainment that captivated audiences during the imperial era. The reverse of the postcard advertises an emigration scheme for the unemployed in Halifax, inviting viewers to start a new life in a far-off land. Experience the magic of this bygone era with this exquisite promotional postcard from Mary Evans Prints Online.
