EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a thrilling moment from the 1856 amateur pantomime production of 'William Tell' at the Lyceum Theatre in London. The image, published by I.N. and J.S. Lyon & Co., depicts the pivotal battle scene between the Swiss patriot William Tell, portrayed by Albert Smith, and the tyrannical Austrian governor Gessler, played by T. Knox Holmes. William Tell, a legendary figure in Swiss history, is renowned for his defiance against oppressive rule. In this pantomime adaptation, Tell is shown on the left, with a determined expression and a bow and arrow at the ready. His adversary, Gessler, is depicted on the right, wearing an ornate Austrian costume and brandishing a sword. The scene is set against a backdrop of a bustling medieval village, with onlookers gathered to witness the impending confrontation. The tension is palpable as Tell takes aim at the apple placed on his son's head, daringly defying Gessler's demand to shoot an apple from his son's head instead of his own. This historical engraving is an important document of theatrical history, providing a glimpse into the world of amateur pantomime performances in 19th-century London. The Lyceum Theatre, which opened in 1834, was a popular venue for such productions, offering a platform for local actors to showcase their talents and entertain audiences with adaptations of classic stories and legends.
