EDITORS COMMENTS
Grace Huntley, a renowned British actress of the late 19th century, is captured in this enchanting photograph as she brings to life various roles in the classic pantomime production of "Sinbad" at The Royal Theatre in 1883. In this image, Huntley is seen donning the colorful costumes of Sinbad, Aladdin, and The Bonnie Fishwife, each character embodying a unique charm and allure. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the rich tradition of British pantomime, a theatrical form that originated in the 16th century and continues to be a cherished holiday tradition in the United Kingdom. Pantomime is known for its unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle, and the art of cross-dressing was a common practice among female actors, allowing them to play multiple roles. Huntley's portrayal of Sinbad, the legendary sailor, showcases her versatility and skill as an actress. She is depicted wearing a flowing, turquoise robe and holding a sword, exuding an air of confidence and adventure. In contrast, her transformation into Aladdin, the humble hero of the Arabian Nights, sees her dressed in a vibrant, golden costume, complete with a magical lamp and a mischievous grin. The final image in this series captures Huntley as The Bonnie Fishwife, a lively and comedic character from the pantomime adaptation of "Sinbad." Dressed in a red and white striped apron and a tall, conical hat, she holds a tambourine and a fish, ready to entertain the audience with her spirited performance. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century British pantomime but also showcases the extraordinary talent of Grace Huntley, a true theatrical legend of her time.
