In the Rush After the Play was Over I Escaped Quietly with Papa,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arthur Hopkins, captured in 1890 and published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper." The image portrays a high-class couple, elegantly dressed in Victorian attire, making their way through a crowded playhouse after an evening performance. The woman, adorned in an exquisite evening gown, holds on to her father's arm as they navigate through the throng of people. Her delicate, lace-trimmed dress, with its full skirt and fitted bodice, is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1890s. The man, wearing a formal suit and top hat, looks attentively towards his daughter, shielding her from the bustling crowd. The photograph offers a glimpse into the social dynamics of the time, showcasing the importance of family and the upper class in Victorian society. The press and the public were keenly interested in the lives of the wealthy, and publications like "The Graphic" provided a platform for the dissemination of such images. Arthur Hopkins, a renowned photographer of the era, expertly captures the essence of the moment, with the couple's quiet escape from the chaos of the playhouse, highlighting the contrast between the public and private spheres. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the Victorian era and the enduring allure of the theatre. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection of Victorian-era imagery, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire us today.
