EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume design is a masterpiece by the renowned British artist, Charles de Sousy Ricketts, for the 1926 production of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic opera, The Mikado. Ricketts, known for his exceptional draftsmanship and exquisite use of color, created this design using pencil, watercolor, and paper. The Mikado, a role famously portrayed as the Emperor of Japan, is depicted in the design wearing a regal and ornate costume. The emperor's attire consists of a rich, deep purple robe, adorned with intricate gold and silver patterns, and a matching headdress. The robe is fastened with a wide, golden sash, and the emperor's feet are covered in traditional Japanese socks called tabi. The design also features the Mikado's attendants, dressed in more subdued, yet equally intricate costumes. Their attire includes long, flowing robes in various shades of red and gold, and wide-brimmed hats with delicate, floral decorations. Ricketts's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the fabric, the precise lines of the garments, and the realistic rendering of the materials. The artist's ability to capture the essence of Japanese culture in this design is a testament to his artistic talent and his deep understanding of the opera's setting. This costume design is a rare and valuable glimpse into the world of early 20th-century opera production, and a beautiful example of Ricketts's artistic vision and skill. It remains an enduring testament to the artist's contributions to the world of theater and design.
