1871 Back Stage Clown Dancer Panto Pantomime Performers Waiting Wings
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of a Victorian pantomime as we take a peek behind the scenes in this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The enchanting atmosphere of the theatre is palpable as performers in vibrant costumes huddle together in the dimly lit wings, eagerly anticipating their next entrance. The year is 1871, and the tradition of pantomime, a unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and drama, is at the height of its popularity in England. The stage is set for an unforgettable performance, and the anticipation is electric. In the foreground, a clown, with his red nose and oversized shoes, cracks a joke, eliciting laughter from his fellow performers. A dancer, her costume adorned with sequins and feathers, adjusts her headdress, while another performer, dressed as a fairy, checks her makeup in a mirror. The historical setting of the photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the world of theatre during the 1870s. The intricate details of the performers' costumes, the worn wooden floorboards, and the ornate stage curtains all contribute to the rich tapestry of this theatrical moment. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the dedication, hard work, and camaraderie that goes into bringing a pantomime to life. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the theatre and the magic of live performance.
