EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken at the London Hippodrome in 1904, captures the diverse audience types that flocked to this iconic Edwardian entertainment venue. The London Hippodrome, located in Leicester Square, was renowned for its varied programme, appealing to both the upper and lower classes of society. In the foreground, a group of country visitors are depicted, their rosy cheeks and rustic attire giving them an unmistakably 'bumpkin-ish' appearance. Their expressions suggest a sense of wonder and excitement as they take in the spectacle before them. These visitors, hailing from the countryside, would have been drawn to the Hippodrome's popular variety shows, which featured acts such as acrobatics, juggling, and animal acts. In contrast, in the background, a group of elegantly dressed town visitors can be seen, their disdainful expressions betraying a sense of superiority. Dressed in their finest clothing, these visitors would have been more likely to attend the Hippodrome's more refined performances, such as operas or plays. Their detached demeanour suggests a certain disdain for the more vulgar elements of the entertainment on offer. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the social fabric of Edwardian London, highlighting the diverse range of audience types that were attracted to the London Hippodrome and its broad-ranging entertainment programme. The Gods, Circle, and Gallery are all represented, with each section of the theatre reflecting the different social classes and their varying tastes in entertainment.
