EDITORS COMMENTS
Going to the Pantomime, 1853: A Family Outing of Yesteryears This monochrome print, titled "Going to the Pantomime, 1853," offers a delightful glimpse into the past, showcasing a Victorian-era family's excitement as they prepare for a much-anticipated outing to the pantomime theatre. The image, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time, inviting us to share in their joy and wonder. At the heart of the scene, a loving couple, identified as "Dear Papa," tenderly guides his family towards an enormous, horse-drawn cab. The family, bundled up against the winter chill, includes several children, all crammed together, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. The father's warm smile and the mother's serene expression convey the sense of happiness and contentment that comes from spending quality time with loved ones. The pantomime, a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian era, was a unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and drama, often with a moral or educational message. This festive tradition, which often took place during the Christmas season, brought families and communities together, creating cherished memories that lasted a lifetime. As we marvel at this charming print, we are reminded of the enduring power of family, the magic of live theatre, and the simple joys of an outing shared with loved ones. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing moments spent with those we hold dear, and the timeless allure of the theatre as a source of entertainment and connection.
