EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the playful spirit of the holiday season during the Victorian era, as depicted in this 1881 print of Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales enjoying a Christmas pantomime. The mother and son duo sit comfortably in their private theatre box, their attention fully engaged by the lively performance unfolding on the stage below. Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire and adorned with her iconic crown, peers intently through her opera glasses, while Edward, Prince of Wales, leans forward, intrigued by the antics of the clown and Harlequin. The pair's laughter and enjoyment are palpable, as they share a special moment of entertainment and bonding. The pantomime, a popular form of theatre during the 1880s, was a type of musical comedy that incorporated elements of song, dance, and slapstick humor. The production, which took place during the Christmas season, was a cherished tradition for many, including the royal family, who were known for their patronage of the arts. The caricature, created by the talented hand of Terry Parker, adds a touch of whimsy and humor to this historical moment. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the pantomime experience, with its colorful costumes, larger-than-life characters, and the magical atmosphere that enchants audiences of all ages. As the enchanting performance continues, Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales remain captivated by the production, their glasses and binoculars at the ready, ready to take in every moment of this unforgettable Christmas pantomime.
