Audience Behind Glove Harlequin Marche Performance Puppet Puppets
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a late Victorian puppet show, as depicted in this photograph from the 1890s. The image captures a man intently focused on his puppets, his hands skillfully manipulating the marionettes from within the cozy confines of the puppet box. The audience, a mix of men and women, leans forward in their seats, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. The puppets themselves, likely Harlequin and his companion, are intricately crafted, their expressive faces and colorful costumes bringing them to life. The dimly lit theatre, filled with the soft murmurs of the audience, adds to the sense of wonder and magic. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of a puppet show, a popular form of entertainment during the late Victorian era. The man's intense concentration and the rapt attention of the audience speak to the enduring appeal of this art form, which continues to captivate audiences of all ages to this day. The photograph, titled "Au Bon Marche - puppet show seen from inside the box," is a testament to the rich history of puppetry and its ability to transport us to other worlds, even as we remain firmly rooted in our own.
