EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two intriguing scenes from the four-act play "The Flying Squad" by renowned English crime writer Edgar Wallace. The production, which premiered at the Lyceum Theatre in London before transferring to the Regent Theatre in Weymouth, depicts the thrilling exploits of the Metropolitan Police's elite Flying Squad. In the first scene, we witness the dramatic arrest of a criminal mastermind. A team of Flying Squad officers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, surround a car in a darkened street. With guns drawn and nerves taut, they apprehend the suspect, who puts up a desperate struggle, adding an air of tension and excitement to the moment. The second scene reveals the aftermath of the arrest, as the suspect is brought before the magistrate in a bustling police court. The courtroom is filled with a motley assortment of people, including lawyers, defendants, and onlookers, all eager to catch a glimpse of the latest criminal proceedings. The suspect, now seated in the dock, looks defiant and determined, while the officers who made the arrest take pride in their work, knowing they have brought another criminal to justice. Edgar Wallace's "The Flying Squad" was a popular and influential play in the early 20th century, showcasing the drama and intrigue of the criminal underworld and the heroic efforts of the police to combat it. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of theatre and drama during this era, providing a captivating snapshot of a bygone age.
