EDITORS COMMENTS
by J. Hickory Wood and Arthur Collins: A Delightful Depiction of Dick's Early Days as a Delivery Boy This photograph print, featuring the beloved character Dick Whittington, is an exquisite piece of theatrical history from the year 1908. The image, which is the first card in a series of eight produced to advertise the Drury Lane pantomime, showcases Dick as a cheerful delivery boy, hampered by a playful dog as he carries an assortment of parcels and packages. The artist behind this delightful illustration is Winnie Burnand, whose skillful brushstrokes bring Dick's early days to life. Dick was apprenticed to Alderman Fitzwarren, The Universal Provider, where he worked diligently from the early hours of the morning until late at night. His daily routine involved carrying a variety of goods from the shopfront to various destinations, often with a dog in tow, adding a touch of excitement and adventure to his mundane tasks. In this particular scene, Dick is shown in the midst of his delivery rounds, with a mischievous dog attempting to steal a sausage from one of his parcels. The dog's antics, however, do not seem to dampen Dick's spirits, as he maintains a cheerful expression, a testament to his resilience and good humor. This charming illustration is a reminder of the popularity of pantomime as a form of popular entertainment during the early 20th century. The theatrical production of Dick Whittington, with its lively performances and engaging storyline, would have provided a much-needed escape from the monotony of daily life for audiences of the time. This photograph print, with its delightful depiction of Dick's early days as a delivery boy, continues to capture the imagination and delight of viewers even today.
