EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of enchantment and innocence as a group of young thespians rehearse for a pantomime performance in 1889. The children, dressed in various costumes and adorned with props such as a bowler hat and a violin, gather around the piano and fiddle, their eyes fixed on the music sheets before them. The pianist, perhaps an adult, looks intently at the sheet music, ready to provide the musical accompaniment for their rendition of the lullaby. The atmosphere in the room is focused and serious, yet the joy and excitement of the children shines through their expressions. The use of natural light filtering in from the window adds to the sense of warmth and charm, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. Pantomime was a popular form of entertainment in the late 19th century, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of these productions. The children's dedication and hard work are evident as they prepare to bring the magic of the pantomime to life for audiences. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of live theatre and the transformative power it holds, especially for young performers, who get to explore their creativity and imagination through the art form. This photograph is a precious document of a moment in time, capturing the essence of childhood, music, and the magic of the theatre.
