EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the late Victorian era of London in 1885. The image features Mrs Anna Conover, an extraordinary woman who managed the renowned Olympic Theatre located in the heart of the city. The theatre, known for its grandeur and innovative productions, was a popular destination for entertainment during the Christmas season. Mrs Conover, dressed elegantly in a high-collared dress and wearing a festive hat adorned with holly and baubles, stands confidently before an elaborate Christmas tree. Surrounded by the branches, which are laden with twinkling lights and ornaments, she exudes an air of warmth and hospitality. In her hand, she holds a playbill for the theatre's current production, "Entr'acte," featuring the famous comedian Alfred Bryan, who was a popular figure during the 1880s. The photograph, titled "Cartoon," was likely taken during a break in the theatre's performances, perhaps during the intermission of "Entr'acte." The term "cartoon" in this context refers to a humorous drawing or illustration, but it's also a fitting description for this image, which captures the whimsy and charm of the holiday season and the magic of live theatre. Mrs Conover's management of the Olympic Theatre was marked by her dedication to providing top-quality entertainment for her audiences. Her leadership and passion for the arts made the Olympic Theatre a beloved institution in London during the late Victorian era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and culture of London's theatrical heritage.
