EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Christmas Pantomimes, 'The Babes in the Wood, ' at Drury Lane" takes us back to a festive scene from 1898. The illustration, originally featured in The Illustrated London News, showcases the magical world of theater and the enchantment of Christmas. In this whimsical depiction, we find ourselves amidst an elaborate stage set. A group of talented actors brings to life the beloved tale of "The Babes in the Wood" with their vibrant performances. The forest backdrop is adorned with lush trees and foliage that transport us into a mystical woodland realm. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to various characters who play pivotal roles in this pantomime production. We spot Dan Leno and Herbert Campbell among them as they skillfully portray their respective roles on stage. Their expressive faces capture both humor and drama, adding depth to the performance. Meanwhile, birds flutter above as if summoned by some unseen force while barons' retainers search for lost babes within the woodlands. Amidst all this commotion, a mischievous spirit of indigestion lurks nearby while another figure embodies the spirit of castigation. "The Christmas Pantomimes" transports us back to a time when live theater was celebrated during the holiday season. This lithograph serves as a delightful reminder that even after more than a century has passed since its creation, art can still evoke joy and wonder within our hearts.
