EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image features a Sandwich Man advertising a pantomime production of "Babes in the Wood" at Drury Lane Theatre, one of the most prestigious venues in the city at that time.
The Sandwich Man, clad in his distinctive sandwich board adorned with colorful posters promoting the show, stands out against the backdrop of historical buildings and horse-drawn carriages. His presence on the busy street would have undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby, enticing them to purchase tickets for this beloved theatrical performance.
This snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone era when live entertainment was a popular form of leisure for Londoners. The elaborate costumes and whimsical storyline of "Babes in the Wood" would have transported audience members to a world filled with magic and wonder.
As you admire this piece of history preserved through photography, imagine yourself walking alongside Victorian gentlemen and ladies as they make their way to Drury Lane Theatre for an evening of laughter and enchantment. Let this print serve as a reminder of the enduring appeal of pantomimes and how they continue to captivate audiences even today.
