West-End Waits - A Festive Rivalry between Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres, London, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "West-End Waits," offers a delightful glimpse into the holiday spirit and playful rivalry between the renowned pantomimes at Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres in London during the late Victorian era. Dated 1885, this enchanting image was created by an unidentified artist, showcasing the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the annual pantomime shows during the Christmas season. The cartoon features two jovial and colorfully dressed waiters, each representing a theatre. The Drury Lane waiter, wearing a top hat adorned with the theatre's insignia, plays a trombone, while the Covent Garden waiter, also in a top hat, brandishes a sign advertising his theatre's pantomime show. The contrasting hats and their respective theatre insignias serve as a clear indication of their allegiance. The wintery backdrop of the scene adds to the overall charm, with snow falling gently and a chill in the air. The cartoon's title, "West-End Waits," refers to the street performers or advertisers who would often be seen in the area, promoting the various shows and entertainments on offer. The entrance of the theatres, with their grand facades and inviting marquees, can be seen in the background. The enchanting atmosphere of the cartoon captures the essence of the Christmas season in London during the 1880s, with its combination of merriment, competition, and the magical allure of the pantomime shows. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the holiday season and the rich cultural heritage of London's theatrical history.
