EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures English actress Isobel Elsom, in the role of Wendy Darling, just moments before she was set to take the stage in a new production of J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" at the New Theatre in London, in December 1917. With a youthful and radiant expression, Isobel exudes the innocence and charm that made her the perfect choice for the beloved character. Nestled beside her is a charming and quirky addition to the scene - a stuffed version of Tou-Tou, the beloved dog of Eve, the fictional gossip columnist from the Tatler magazine. Eve and Tou-Tou were the talk of the town that Christmas season, and the popularity of the duo extended beyond the pages of the Tatler. That year, Tou-Tou was made available as a soft toy, allowing fans to bring a piece of the magical world of Peter Pan into their own homes. Isobel Elsom's portrayal of Wendy in Peter Pan was met with critical acclaim and marked the beginning of her successful acting career. This photograph, with its unique blend of reality and fantasy, offers a glimpse into the magic and wonder of the holiday season in 1917, as well as the enduring appeal of Peter Pan and the characters that brought it to life.
